Abdoulaye Doucoure - Page 5 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Goes full 90 in defeat Doucoure had one chance created and two tackles won in Saturday's 1-0 loss against Manchester City.

Impact Despite missing the prior month with a groin injury, Doucoure somehow managed to go a full 90 against Man City. He's clearly in Frank Lampard's plans going forward and when everyone is healthy, the midfield trio of Doucoure, Allan and Donny van de Beek may be what he uses after almost taking a point from Man City on Saturday.

Starting against Man City Doucoure (groin) is inn the starting XI for Saturday's match against Manchester City.

Impact Doucoure is immediately back in the XI for Saturday's difficult contest, playing alongside Allan and Donny van de Beek. He won't have much fantasy value in this matchup, but he definitely helps the midfield for Everton.

Back in full training Doucoure (groin) is back in full training ahead of Saturday's match against Manchester City.

Impact Doucoure is training in full, but he's been out for a month with the injury and may not be pushed back into the XI now that Donny van de Beek is in the squad. While Doucoure was a constant before the transfer window, there are some questions for Frank Lampard and his starting XI going forward.

Edging closer to return Doucoure took part in the warm-up session Thursday in his recovery from a groin injury.

Impact Doucoure has been out three weeks with his injury and was originally given a four-week timeline. He'll likely need at least another week to recover and then he still has to build back his fitness. Once ready to return, his spot in the squad is yet to be determined following the play of Donny van de Beek in that central midfield role.

Out at least four weeks Doucoure will miss at least four weeks after suffering a groin injury in last weekend's loss to Aston Villa.

Impact Doucoure was on eight-straight starts prior to injury, so it's yet another tough injury for a depth-depleted Everton midfield. Allan and Andre Gomes are expected to continue there with Doucoure out. When Doucoure missed a month earlier in the season, Everton only took one point from four matches, including a 5-2 home loss to Watford.

Groin injury confirmed Doucoure suffered a groin injury in Saturday's loss against Aston Villa and will be assessed over the international break.

Impact Groin injuries have a wide range for returns because the severity can be from minimal to severe. There's a chance Doucoure trains over the break or he misses a month with the injury, something that will need to be monitored. Andre Gomes would likely get more starts of Doucoure has to miss time.

Forced off early Saturday Doucoure was forced off in the 65th minute of Saturday's match against Aston Villa with an undisclosed issue.

Impact Everton were mounting a comeback Saturday and unfortunately Doucoure couldn't go the rest of the way, meaning youngster Tyler Onyango had to enter the midfield. The good news for Doucoure is that he'll get a couple weeks to recover over the break, depending on the injury.

JANUARY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Modest performance in defeat Doucoure took an off-target shot and won both of his tackles in last Saturday's 2-1 loss to Norwich.

Impact Doucoure has cooled down to his usual standard after an offensive outburst to begin the campaign. With Everton sacking Rafa Benitez, it'll be interesting to see whether Doucoure and company will be revived by the club's managerial change Saturday versus Aston Villa.

JANUARY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Logs three dribbles in loss Doucoure had one shot (off target), three dribbles, two aerials won, two tackles (both won) and two interceptions in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Brighton.

Impact Doucoure had a decent all around display here with numbers in many phases of the game. In terms of fantasy though he likely wasn't much productive in most formats. The central midfielder has been quiet offensively for some time now with his last major offensive contribution coming in early October. His best asset of late have been his seven tackles over his past three affairs.

JANUARY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Makes three tackles in draw Doucoure made three tackles (two won) and created one chance during Thursday's 1-1 draw with Chelsea.

Impact Doucoure was one of the key performers in helping the Toffees hold on for a point on the road, though his defensive responsibilities mean it doesn't appear as prevalent on the stat line. Where he did excel was winning eight duels against a side full of attacking stars, so he can take away plenty of confidence from this result. With the injury crisis unlikely to go away immediately, Doucoure will likely remain a key player in the coming weeks.

Impact The return of Doucoure would be a huge boost to the Everton midfield and he figures to be a near-lock for the starting XI if cleared. In eight matches this year (all starts) the Doucoure has registered two goals on 14 shots (five on target), four assists and 20 tackles (nine won). If fit, Doucoure would slot into the starting XI alongside Allan in a defensive midfield role, though that hasn't stopped him from getting up the pitch in the attack.

Impact Doucoure is the engine that drives the Everton midfield and will be nearly impossible to replace will sidelined for a fourth consecutive match. Once cleared to play, Doucoure should immediately slide back into the starting XI. In the meantime, Fabian Delph could retain his spot on the pitch, especially with Tom Davies (knee) unavailable as well.

Out with foot injury Doucoure is hoping not to need an operation after suffering a stress fracture in his metatarsal of his foot.

Impact It's yet another massive injury for Everton and one that will likely keep Doucoure out at least a month. He suffered a similar injury last season and missed about two months after surgery, so this timeline could be shorter if he doesn't get surgery. Andre Gomes and Tom Davies are most likely to benefit and receive starts in the midfield.

After producing two goals and three assists last season, the midfielder already has two goals and four assists en route to possibly setting new career season highs. Not only is he producing points though, but he is also still generating plenty of peripherals which only bolsters his value.
