Everton’s £25m midfielder Jean-Philippe Gbamin ‘suffers freak injury in training and will not play again THIS SEASON’ just days after ending 19-month injury nightmare with sub appearance against Crystal Palace
- Everton midfielder Jean-Phillipe Gbamin has suffered another injury set-back
- The 25-year-old has had a ‘freak injury’ during training days after his return
- Gbamin has been out of action for 19 months after two long-term spells out
Everton midfielder Jean-Phillipe Gbamin has suffered another injury set-back just days after he spent 19 months sidelined following several other problems.
The 25-year-old finally made an appearance under Carlo Ancelotti with a 12-minute cameo for the Toffees in last Monday’s 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace at Goodison Park.
But now, it looks as if Gbamin’s season is over after yet another injury, according to the Athletic.
Everton midfielder Jean-Phillipe Gbamin has suffered another crushing injury set-back
The 25-year-old finally made an appearance under Carlo Ancelotti after 19 months out
His most recent blow has been labelled as a ‘freak injury’ suffered during a training session at Finch Park.
The report has claimed that the new issue is not related to any previous injuries he has suffered to both his quadricep and Achilles that caused him to undergo months of surgeries and rehabilitation.
Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti will not be pleased with Gbamin’s poor luck as he is already light in midfield and hoped his Palace return would begin a new chapter in his career in Merseyside.

Influential summer signings Abdoulaye Doucoure and Allan have both been out of action in recent weeks, with the Brazilian international returning to training this week.
Since arriving from Mainz in 2019, Gbamin made just two appearances under former boss Marco Silva before being ruled out with a quadriceps injury.
The problem worsened for him as he needed two seperate rounds of surgery and after a long road to recovery, he picked up a seperate injury that has left him out for the last 11 months.
