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.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Saturday Gomes (calf) is not on the squad for Saturday's match against Wolverhampton.

Impact Gomes continues to recover from a calf injury, so his absence is not surprising. His next chance to feature will come next Saturday at Sheffield United, but that seems highly unlikely given he's yet to play a single minute in 2023-24.

Out for Villa clash Gomes is not in the match day squad to face Aston Villa on Sunday.

Impact Gomes misses out on Sunday's match as expected as he continues to recover from a calf injury. Even when fully fit it seems unlikely that the midfielder will recover much of a role with Everton after spending last season on loan with Lille and falling down the pecking order.

AUGUST 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Taking caution with calf issue Gomes could be in doubt for Sunday's match against Aston Villa after feeling tightness in his calf.

Impact Gomes was an unused substitute Saturday but has been feeling slight calf stiffness recently and will be a late call for Sunday. The team do not want to risk injuring him further, so it will not be a surprise if the midfielder sits out. He spent last season on loan to Lilie, totaling three goals and two assists in 26 appearances in Ligue 1. Gomes is still not the favorite to start, with James Garner and Idrissa Gueye better suited in the lineup over him at the moment.

AUGUST 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Logs minutes against Sporting Gomes (leg) came off the bench in Everton's pre-season friendly versus Sporting CP on Saturday.

Impact Gomes played just 11 minutes as a substitute option, his second appearance during the preseason. The midfielder is unlikely to get into the starting XI any time soon for the Toffees and is almost certainly a candidate to be sold or loaned out before the transfer window closes.

Remains without timeline Gomes (undisclosed) remains out and doesn't have a timeline to return.

Impact Gomes is quickly falling down the depth chart and this injury isn't helping. New signing Amadou Onana further complicates the situation for Gomes, who may get less than the 14 league appearances he had last season.

AUGUST 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out for at least one week Gomes (undisclosed) is one or two weeks away from a return to the pitch, according to manager Frank Lampard.

Impact Gomes doesn't figure to see much time this season after getting just seven starts last campaign. He's another player who can't shake the injury bug and already behind Tom Davies on the depth chart, he's not in a great spot to open the new season.

Everton comeback against Palace secures Premier League spot

Everton has secured its Premier League survival by recovering from two goals down to beat Crystal Palace 3-2 in the penultimate match of the season

MAY 19, 2022 • Associated Press

Available Sunday Gomes (undisclosed) will be in contention against Leicester City on Sunday after manager Frank Lampard told reporters, "Andre is back in the squad."

Impact Considering Gomes was an unused substitute in four of his last five inclusions in the match-day squad and came off the bench in that lone appearance, he is far from a lock to make the starting XI versus Foxes. Even if he does play, Gomes is unlikely to offer more than low-end fantasy value given his limited offensive upside.

MAY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Chelsea Everton manager Frank Lampard confirmed Friday that Gomes (undisclosed) will miss Sunday's clash against Chelsea.

Impact Gomes missed last weekend's defeat to Liverpool with an injury, and he's still out a week later for the Chelsea game. His next opportunity to return will be against Leicester on May 8.

APRIL 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined Sunday Gomes is dealing with a minor injury that will keep him out of action against Liverpool on Sunday. Manager Frank Lampard told reporters, "Andre Gomes has another small problem whic...

Impact Gomes was an unused substitute for the Toffees' previous two contests, so his absence is unlikely to impact the starting XI, even with the quick turnaround. Even once cleared to play, Gomes will likely struggle to secure regular minutes on the pitch, making him a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

APRIL 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Assists as substitute Gomes had an assist with his lone chance created while taking an off target shot during Monday's 2-1 win over Arsenal.

Impact Gomes entered the match in the 66th minute and set up Demarai Gray two minutes into stoppage time for the game winning goal. The assist was the first of the season for the midfielder as he made the most of his limited time on the pitch.

DECEMBER 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench Gomes (calf) is on the bench for Monday's match against Arsenal.

Impact Gomes is back in the squad Monday, his first since September because of a calf injury. He'll remain a bench option with appearances only likely when Allan or Abdoulaye Doucoure are rested or injured.

DECEMBER 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Monday Gomes (calf) is available versus Arsenal on Monday after manager Rafa Benitez told reporters, "Andre Gomes has been training."

Impact Gomes has been out of the squad for the club's previous nine matches due to injury and appears to be trending in the right direction. Still, even with Gomes' return to training, he may not be able to break into the starting XI over the likes of Allan and Abdoulaye Doucoure.

DECEMBER 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not ready to return Wednesday Gomes (calf) -- who has resumed first-team training -- will be out of action against Liverpool on Wednesday.

Impact Gomes resumption of training activities is certainly a step in the right direction, though the club hasn't provided a specific timeline as to when he'll be ready to get back on the pitch. Even once given the all-clear, Gomes will be hard-pressed to secure a place in the starting XI over Allan or Abdoulaye Doucoure.

NOVEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Back in training Gomes (calf) was seen in light training with Everton on Friday.

Impact Gomes has been out since late September with a calf injury, but he is getting closer to being able to return.

NOVEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Still shelved Sunday Gomes (calf) has been ruled out versus Brentford on Sunday.

Impact Gomes will miss his eighth straight match due to his lingering calf problem. Even prior to getting hurt, the midfielder was unlikely to feature in the starting XI over the likes of Allan and Abdoulaye Doucoure (foot), making him a relative non-factor in fantasy contests even once cleared to play.

NOVEMBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Remains unavailable Gomes (calf) will once again be sidelined heading into Sunday's clash with Manchester City.

Impact Gomes will be shelved for his seventh straight outing due to his calf problem. Even prior to getting hurt, the midfielder featured exclusively as a substitute and may be hard-pressed to break into the starting XI once given the all-clear.

Tottenham held by Everton in Conte's frustrating EPL return

NOVEMBER 7, 2021 • Associated Press

Won't play Sunday Gomes (calf) will be unavailable for Sunday's clash with Tottenham.

Impact Considering Gomes has featured exclusively off the bench this season, he may be hard-pressed to break into the starting XI even once cleared to play. Still, the absence of Abdoulaye Doucoure (foot) could open up a spot on the pitch for Gomes.

NOVEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Set to miss out Monday Gomes (calf) is slated to miss Monday's matchup with Wolverhampton.

Impact The fact that manager Rafa Benitez didn't offer an update on Gomes could be an indication the Toffees are expecting him to be sidelined for an extended period of time with what was originally diagnosed as a simple "knock". Without Gomes or Abdoulaye Doucoure (foot), Benetiz could utilize either Tom Davies of Fabian Delph (shoulder) in a defensive midfield role versus Wolves.

OCTOBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Will remain out Saturday Gomes will remain out for Saturday's match against Watford because of a calf issue.

Impact Gomes suffered a "knock" a month ago and now that injury has turned into a calf issue. He's been out a month and it's unclear when he'll be an option to start again. Due to a lack of options in the midfield, Tom Davies may be in line for multiple starts until Gomes can return to health.

OCTOBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out another match Gomes (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's trip to Manchester United, according to manager Rafa Benitez.

Impact Gomes will miss his second-straight match with a knock suffered a little more than a week ago. His absence hurts the depth of the side, but it's expected he'll be ready to return following the international break.
