Lucas Digne Set For Lengthy Absence With Ankle Injury

Everton left-back Lucas Digne is set for a spell on the sidelines after suffering an ankle injury in training.

The Frenchman, who signed for Everton in the summer transfer window of 2018 from Barcelona, has made a fine start to the season, recording four assists in eight appearances. Only Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane and Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish have set up more goals in the Premier League this campaign.

Digne’s form has been vital to the Toffees this season, who currently sit in sixth place after coming away from Craven Cottage as 3-2 winners – Digne himself assisted two of the goals.
