Gbamin hopeful of Everton return after nine-month injury lay-off

Everton midfielder Jean-Philippe Gbamin is looking forward to playing a part during the remainder of the 2019-20 Premier League season after recovering from a thigh injury.

He sustained the injury in training back in August, and he was forced to undergo surgery in October to fix his thigh.

Gbamin has played only two games for Everton since his summer-signing from Mainz – the first two league games of the season against Crystal Palace and Watford, and he racked up 135 minutes of football in the process.
