One shot in 2-1 defeat Gomes recorded one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Le Havre.

Impact Andre made four interceptions, the most by any player in the match. It was the first occasion this season where the 34-year-old made four or more interceptions in a fixture. Andre also attempted a cross, but it was not accurate.

On squad list Gomes (undisclosed) is on the squad list for Sunday's match against Montpellier.

Impact Gomes is expected to return Sunday after making thew squad list, looking to end a five match absence due to undisclosed issues. This would be huge news for the club, as he is a starter when fit but has missed eight games this season through injury. That said, he will hope to see the start, although they may ease him in off the bench.

Needs another week Gomes (undisclosed) is expected to return next week, according to manager Bruno Genesio. "Andre should return next week."

Impact Gomes will need a bit more time before a return, as he is not fit enough to face Rennes. That said, he will look to get back into team training next week before hopefully making a return against either Bologna on Wednesday or Montpellier on Dec. 1. He has started in all but one of the matches he has been available for this campaign and will look to see the start immediately once fit.

Picks up injury Gomes has suffered an injury and is questionable for Sunday's match against Nice, according to manager Bruno Genesio. "Andre is also injured, even if he is not qualified for UEFA."

Impact Gomes missed out over the weekend, with the midfielder suffering an undisclosed injury. Not much more is known about the injury, as he will just hope to be fit for Sunday. Ngal'ayel Makau is his likely replacement if he continues on the sidelines.

Consistent starter Gomes has started four Ligue 1 matches in a row since joining Lille, going the full 90 in two of them.

Impact Gomes returned to Lille, this time on a permanent deal, and remains a consistent starting option. The midfielder has been the top choice at the base of a midfield pair, and seems set for that role to continue in the league. He wasn't registered for Champions League action, meaning he will continue to miss matches in the premier European competition.

Questionable for finale Gomes (face) is in doubt for Sunday's clash with Arsenal, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact Gomes suffered a facial injury in the closing stages of the 1-0 win over Sheffield United and faces a late test for Sunday's match. The midfielder has played a bench role in recent matches and even if fit it's likely he would remain limited to second half minutes off the bench.

Makes bench Saturday Gomes (ankle) is on the bench for Everton during Saturday's match against West Ham.

Impact Gomes returns for the first time since December as he's missed Everton's past six matches through injury. The midfielder has made just one start this season as a backup option at the club.

Training with squad Gomes (ankle) is back training with the squad ahead of a matchup with West Ham United on Saturday. Manager Sean Dyche told reporters, "Andre has been back out on the grass with us....

Impact Gomes has been limited to just three appearances this season due to various injury concerns. Still, if the midfielder is available against the Hammers, he may be pressed into the starting XI following injuries to Amadou Onana (groin) and Idrissa Gueye (groin), who are both facing late fitness tests.

Starts to work on grass Gomes (calf) started to train on grass but is still expected to miss another couple of weeks as manager Sean Dyche stated, "Andre [Gomes] is back on the grass, but it still has to...

Impact Gomes still isn't scheduled for a return until sometime in early March, but his return to training on grass is a decent development in the player's recovery. It also seems as if the club is taking his return very cautiously, as the midfielder has dealt with multiple calf issues throughout the season that have limited him to three appearances. He will hope to not see any setbacks and return to play on his expected date against West Ham on Mar. 2nd.

FEBRUARY 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will continue on sidelines Gomes (calf) is in line to be out for a further prolonged period, the club reported Tuesday.

Impact Gomes has missed the club's past four contests and may be absent for a couple more as he is still working on his recovery from a calf issue. The midfielder has still only played three times all season, starting once after an injury-filled season, and will hope to put these concerns behind him in the next couple of weeks. He will most likely remain in a rotational role even once he is fit, but any time on the field at this point will be valuable for the Portuguese player, as he has only recorded two shots, three chances created and eight crosses to go along with one goal in his three appearances.

Ruled out versus Citizens Gomes (leg) will not be ready to face Manchester City on Saturday. Manager Sean Dyche told reporters, "Not Doucs, not Danjuma, not Andre Gomes - he won't be back."

Impact Gomes was just four games back from a long-term calf problem when he picked up this latest injury, which will now see him on the shelf for a third straight contest. In his three Premier League outings this season, Gomes has generated one goal on two shots (one on target), eight crosses (two accurate) and two corners.

FEBRUARY 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up new injury Gomes suffered a new injury and Sean Dyche is waiting on news to see how long he will be out.

Impact Gomes has played a bunch in the last month due to other injuries in the squad and those minutes likely led to a new injury. If he has to miss extended time, that puts Dyche in a bit of a bind in the midfield and could mean a change in formation due to a lack of options. With Abdoulaye Doucoure out and Idrissa Gueye at AFCON, the midfield could be thin if Gomes has to miss more than one game.

Whips in five crosses Gomes generated five crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 3-1 loss versus Manchester City. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 60th minute.

Impact Gomes led Everton in crosses Wednesday, whipping in five in the loss. The midfielder was back in the starting XI after making his season debut off the bench against Tottenham after finally recovering from an injury that kept him out for the first 17 matches of the campaign. He should continue in the starting XI after a couple of decent performances, registering two shots, two chances created and six crosses to go along with one goal in his two appearances thus far.

Impact Gomes made his first appearance of the season Saturday after dealing with a lengthy calf injury. He replaced Idrissa Gueye (undisclosed) in the 24th minute and marked his season debut with a goal in the 82nd minute, an impressive unassisted strike following a corner kick. It was one of two shots he took in the match to go along with two chances created, one inaccurate cross and a yellow card.

Available for season debut Gomes (calf) is available for his season debut during Saturday's match against Tottenham.

Impact Gomes returns to the squad for the first time since the opening match of the season. The midfielder is available for his season debut if called upon from the bench.

Plays with youth side Gomes (calf) played 90 minutes with the Everton U21 side against West Bromwich Albion last Friday ahead of Saturday's match versus Burnley.

Impact Gomes got his first taste of full match play with the U21 side and will aim for a return to the first team Saturday. He has missed the first three months with a calf injury, which means that the midfielder will likely get starts off the bench once he returns.

DECEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Thursday Gomes (calf) will not be an option against Newcastle United on Thursday after manager Sean Dyche told reporters, "There is a bit more to come from him, I think, to be fully fit."

Impact Gomes played 60-plus minutes for the club's U21 squad and he continues to work his way back into the senior team. Even once cleared to play, Gomes will be hard-pressed to break into the starting XI and more likely will have to watch from the bench more often than not.

Plays with U21 side Gomes (calf) went 62 minutes with the Everton U21 team Monday.

Impact Gomes has been working his way back from a long-term calf problem that has sidelined him for the entire 2023-24 campaign. Even if cleared to play, the midfielder will be hard-pressed to break into the starting XI, likely serving more as an emergency depth option. As such, Gomes shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy production.

Back on grass Gomes (calf) is training on the grass once more, according to manager Sean Dyche."Andre is back on the grass with us,"

Impact Gomes isn't back for the Sunday clash with Manchester United, but he is nearing a return. It's not clear when exactly Gomes will be back but the hope is certainly to get him back before the Winter break. Gomes' role in the first team is uncertain when he returns, with multiple options in central midfield showing some good form of late.

Working on return Gomes (calf) is not ready to return to action, but is working his way to fitness, per manager Sean Dyche. "Andre has been very frustrated. He's had a niggly calf injury again but...

Impact Again, Dyche does not provide much of an update for Gomes execpt that he is continuing to recover from the calf injury. This is no surprise as the midfielder has yet to step foot on the pitch because of it. Depending on his timeline, it is possible that the team will not see Gomes until December, at minimum.

NOVEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still not ready to return Gomes (calf) is not ready to return and doesn't have a timeline to do so, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact It wasn't much of an update from Dyche, but Gomes still isn't ready to go despite getting the international break to recover. He was apparently "touch and go" just before the break but apparently hasn't made any progress. Either way, he's deep on the depth chart and doesn't have a spot in the squad for now.

Not ready to return Gomes is not in the match day squad to face Bournemouth on Saturday.

Impact Gomes failed a late fitness test and misses out on Saturday's squad as he continues to recover from a calf injury. The midfielder has yet to play this season, but will struggle for much game time even when fully fit in Everton's midfield.

Facing late-fitness test Gomes (calf) will be a last-minute decision against Bournemouth on Saturday after manager Sean Dyche told reporters, "Andre has been in and out with niggly calf injuries, so he's t...

Impact Gomes has yet to get onto the pitch for the club this season after spending the previous campaign on loan with Lille. Even if the veteran midfielder does make the squad Saturday, he will be hard-pressed to break into the starting XI over the likes of Andre Onana, Idrissa Gueye or Abdoulaye Doucoure.

Working on fitness Gomes (calf) is not expected to leave Everton as he continues to work on his fitness ahead of Sunday's matchup with Arsenal. Manager Sean Dyche told reporters, "He's been unfortuna...

Impact Gomes figures to provide cover for the club in the event of a midfield injury but is unlikely to truly challenge the likes of Amadou Onana, Idrissa Gueye or Abdoulaye Doucoure for a spot in the starting XI. Still, the Toffees squad is a little thin heading into the rest of the 2023/24 campaign, so Gomes could see action in both the FA Cup and Carabao Cup once cleared to play.
