Everton’s forgotten man makes comeback vow ahead of full return

Everton’s forgotten man Jean-Philippe Gbamin has vowed to show why the Toffees signed him, with a potential full return on the cards next week.

Gbamin has missed the best part of two years due to injury, with the Ivorian suffering a hamstring problem back in 2019.

The midfielder then suffered an Achilles tendon rupture, delaying his comeback even further.

Despite all of his problems, Gbamin returned to the pitch on Monday evening when Everton faced off against Crystal Palace.

The 25-year-old was introduced in the 79th minute, and while he did look slightly uncomfortable, he was able to get some minutes under his belt.
