Makes season debut McNeil had a shot and an interception during Saturday's 2-2 draw to Sheffield United on Saturday.

Impact McNeil returned to the pitch for the first time this season after missing the last three matches with an ankle injury. He is still one of the favorites to get the start in the midfield over Alex Iwobi and Lewis Dobbin and is in line a spot in the lineup for Sep 17 match against Arsenal.

Fit for Sheffield United game McNeil (ankle) made Everton's game-day squad list to face Sheffield United Saturday.

Impact McNeil is available to make his seasonal debut after missing the previous matches due to an ankle injury as anticipated by his coach, but he'll be eased into action considering the time off.

Impact McNeil's return to the squad would certainly provide a boost, especially with Alex Iwobi (hamstring) and Jack Harrison (hip) both dealing with injuries. Once cleared to play and up to full match fitness, McNeil should be a near-lock to reclaim his spot on the left of the midfielder after starting all 18 matches to close out the previous campaign.

Starts light running drills McNeil (ankle) has begun light running drills in his rehabilitation from his ligament injury, said manager Sean Dyche.

Looking at weeks on shelf McNeil, whose injury was clarified by manager Sean Dyche as an ankle problem, is expected to miss "weeks, not days" to start the season.

Impact While Everton hasn't specified how many weeks McNeil might be sidelined, it certainly seems like he won't be back for at least the next 2-3 contests, if not more, based on the manager's comments. McNeil's absence will hurt an already woeful attack that managed a paltry 34 goals last season. In his stead, James Garner could get a look out wide, though new-man Arnaut Danjuma (undisclosed) could also be in contention if fit enough to play.

Impact McNeil's status beyond just the clash with Fulham is a little murky given the manager's comment but he should almost certainly be considered a doubt versus Aston Villa on Aug. 20. It's a huge blow to the Everton attack after McNeil started all 18 matches under Dyche last season, recording five goals on 34 shots (13 on target), two assists, 136 crosses (35 accurate) and 38 corners. With Demarai Gray having one foot out the door and Arnaut Danjuma (undisclosed) in doubt, James Garner could be in line to replace McNeil in the starting XI.

Impact McNeil left the friendly match against Stoke City last week and didn't play against Sporting Lisbon, so his chances of featuring in the season opener are getting increasingly scarce by the day. He's coming off an impressive 2022-23 season, however, scoring seven goals, providing three assists, taking 46 shots and creating 49 chances in 36 appearances (28 starts).

Impressive fantasy season McNeil scored seven goals, provided three assists, took 46 shots, crossed 194 times (50 accurate) and created 49 chances in 36 appearances (28 starts) during the 2022-23 season.

Impact McNeil was Everton's best attacker on the season, leading the club in goals and crosses while finishing with the second highest amount of assists, shots and chances created. While not necessarily a real life match winner, McNeil is a more than viable fantasy option due to his high attacking floor based mainly off of crossing.

Impact McNeil couldn't replicate his previous performance - and no one expected him to do that against Man City - but still found other ways to contribute, putting up one of his most well-rounded outings of the campaign. After struggling during the first half of his first season at Everton, the winger now looks more settled, with five goals over his last 10 starts.
