Everton’s winger Kendall Branthwaite will undergo hamstring surgery after a training‑ground injury on Monday. The club confirmed the procedure at the club’s medical centre in the afternoon.
Branthwaite suffered a hamstring strain during a pre‑match warm‑up on Saturday. He worked through the injury for a few days, but medical staff concluded the muscle tear required a more definitive fix. “The operation is straightforward and we expect a quick recovery,” said Everton’s team doctor, Dr. Alex James. “He’ll need a structured rehab program and the stay in the hospital is brief.”
The club’s head coach, Sean Dyche, thanked fans for their support and noted that the injury will affect the squad’s attacking options for a few weeks. “We’ll have to look at our depth in the wing area while he’s out,” Dyche said. “His return will be important, but we’re not rushing him. Our priority is to get him back strong.”
Branthwaite’s surgery is scheduled for early next week, and the club expects him to be sidelined for at least six to eight weeks. He used to be a regular in the Premier League side, featuring in 23 matches for the Foxes last season. The club will monitor his progress and keep fans updated through official channels.
Everton fans will hope the winger’s return is swift, as his pace and skill set have proven essential to the team’s offensive play. The injury comes at a time when the club is focused on improving results in the Premier League and maintaining competitiveness across all competitions.
