Everton fans aired their frustration following an injury update from Marco Silva prior to the clash with Liverpool at Anfield.
In his pre-match press conference, the 42-year-old Portuguese gaffer revealed that Theo Walcott was back in contention, Seamus Colman is out and Fabian Delph ‘is not training’ (as per Everton).
With the news that Walcott could be back in line to start for the Toffees at Anfield, many fumed over his potential return.

As well as frustration over Walcott’s impending return being rife, Delph’s injury was also a cause for anger, with the Englishman having spent a number of weeks injured since his summer arrival from Manchester City (as per Liverpool Echo).
What’s the point in delph, got sold a donkey there

Not training with his teammates ? Why because he’s injured or he’s upset the poor loves by calling them out for what they are ?

Others, however, made comment on the man relaying the injury news, suggesting that being left in the lurch over a potential sacking is taking its toll (via The Telegraph).
He looks broken

What do we think?
The Everton squad has been hit with a number of injuries of late, and it is good to see some of those returning – despite Toffees supporters thinking otherwise.
It will certainly be a tough test for Silva’s side at Anfield and he will need all available first-teamers in contention for the clash.
