Andre Gomes Suffered A Fracture Dislocation To His Right Ankle – Everton

Everton’s Andre Gomes suffered a fracture-dislocation of his right ankle after falling awkwardly due to a challenge from Spurs’ Son Heung-min, the club has confirmed.

The ex Barcelona player had to be stretchered from the pitch after he was caught late on in the Toffees 1-1 draw with Tottenham on Sunday.

Son was red-carded for his involvement in the incident after VAR review and the Korean felt really bad about it.

Letting fans know the state of Andre’s injury, Everton has shared a statement.

Their words, “Everton Football Club can confirm Andre Gomes will undergo surgery tomorrow (Monday, November 4) after sustaining an ankle injury in today’s game with Tottenham,”

“Andre wast stretchered from the pitch during the second half of the game and taken straight to Aintree Hospital by ambulance accompanied by members of the Everton medical team.

“After undergoing hospital tests, it was confirmed he had suffered a fracture-dislocation to his right ankle. The club will provide further updates in due course.”

Everton coach, Marco Silva had this to say after the game, “I saw the challenge live and nothing more,”

“I cannot talk to you about the tackle, the incident, other things that happened.

“Andre has gone to hospital. The medical staff are taking control of everything and they will have more information. It is better we wait until it is a little bit more clear.

“Of course, it is a bad moment for us as a group and as a team. Of course, it is more than a football game. But now we will support Andre and his family.

“My opinion will not change anything, I have to be fair with Son, it was a strong tackle, but I am 100 per cent sure when Son did that, he did not do it with intention to do something bad to Andre.

“We are talking about two fantastic football players, for sure he did not mean to make something bad to Andre Gomes.”

We wish him a speedy recovery.
