Tim Iroegbunam

Iroegbunam (foot) is still in a walking boot and is weeks away from a return, according to manager Sean Dyche. "We're looking at weeks, certainly weeks, because of the type of injury it is - it's a bone injury. We've just got to wait for it to settle. He's still in a boot at the moment - they don't tend to use casts now, it's a boot that protects it. We're waiting on that to heal then get him back to training but it is going to be a number of weeks still yet."

Iroegbunam is set to miss the next few weeks of action due to a stress fracture in his foot, according to manager Sean Dyche. "Tim, unfortunately, has got a stress response from a bone in his foot, so he's going to be weeks, not days. He'll come back through it but we're not sure on the timescales."

Iroegbunam opened the season with four starts, but has come off the bench two matches in a row before the break.

Iroegbunam has joined Everton on a three-year deal until the end of June 2027.

Iroegbunam (undisclosed) is in the starting XI during Friday's U21 clash with Hull.
