Not everything is rosy for Everton. In the Toffees’ 4-1 win over West Ham in the EFL Cup round of 16, Carlo Ancelotti had to reach into the substitute bench three times, due to three of his players experiencing discomfort during the match.
The first of them was winger Kenny, who at minute 41 had to leave the pitch to make way for Seamus Coleman (a regular starter) after a discomfort in one of his ankles. The second affected of the night was Richarlison, the Brazilian, like Kenny, presented an injury to one of his ankles and left the game at minute 61. Finally, Allan, one of the reinforcements of the season, had to be substituted in the 70th minute, after presenting pain in one of his adductors after an unfortunate movement.
Now, Ancelotti not only has in mind the preparation of the match against Brighton for the fourth date of the Premier League (Saturday), but he will also have to define the replacements of Richarlison and Allan in the starting formation, since the Brazilians are key piece of the team that is still undefeated in the English championship. And beware, they are the ideal partners of James Rodríguez in the development of the game.
Year
Although there is still no official medical report on the severity of his injury, the Brazilian left the field with a face that did not leave good feelings, the signs of pain and impotence on the part of the steering wheel, generate uncertainty and concern in fans about his recovery time.
The ideal player to replace him is Gylfi Sigurdsson, the Icelander was a starter in the match against West Ham, and in different sections of the match he associated in a good way with James Rodríguez, however, he does not fulfill the same task as Allan, since the Brazilian has as one of his virtues recovering the ball. Under this concept, the names of Fabian Delph and Tom Davies, take more relevance, Delph is more recuperative, Davies more explosive, so some of them could take their place. However Sigurdsson is still the one.
Richarlison
One of the figures that the ‘Toffees’ have is the Brazilian Richarlison, the 23-year-old winger, together with James Rodríguez and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, forms one of the most promising attacks of the season. Now, with the injury to one of his ankles, Ancelotti will have to think about who to replace him with.
The player who aims to be the starter is Alex Iwobi, the Nigerian was the one who replaced Richarlison in the game against West Ham, and although he does not have the same characteristics as the Brazilian, Iwobi is an unbalancing player, who takes advantage of his physique and speed to generate scoring opportunities. Bernard and Theo Walcott also appear in the ‘Carletto’ deck, however, the continuity and performance of the aforementioned has not been as expected and that is why they would be one step down.
Thus, Carlo Ancelotti, as he well knows, must move his chips very well so that the absences are not so noticeable in the game against Brighton, it must be remembered that after Brighton Liverpool continues, the latter being a duel crucial for the position in the table and for the honor in the Merseyside derby.
