On Monday evening, the 26-year-old midfielder posted a picture of himself with the comment: ‘Looking ahead because good things are coming’ (per Andre Gomes), which gave supporters the opportunity to wax lyrical.

If Andre Gomes is ready for match action against Arsenal, would you start him?Yes, one of our better central midfieldersNo, absolutely shouldn't be rushed back |
On his road to recovery from a fractured and dislocated ankle, the former Barcelona man made his comeback to match action over the weekend in training as he featured for 60 minutes in an 11-a-side game (per Everton).
With estimations now stating that Gomes could make a return to first-team match action when the Toffees make the trip to Arsenal on 23rd January (per BBC), fans could not help but gush.
Starting Sunday I hope ?

What do we think?
With the estimation that the Portuguese middleman could be back in contention by the weekend (per BBC), you would hope that the 26-year-old is not being rushed back to full fitness.
However, if the midfielder is ready to return, then hopefully, he can kick on from his 6.4/10 average rating over the duration of the season prior to his injury (per WhoScored).
