Assists with lone chance created Digne had an assist with his lone chance created while crossing six times inaccurately during Tuesday's 2-1 win over Wolverhampton.
Back in starting XI Digne is in the starting XI for Tuesday's match against Wolverhampton.
Impact Digne started Saturday and surprisingly remains in the starting XI Tuesday on a short week. He went 66 matches a few days ago and it's a wonder if he's ready for a full 90. It'll be hard to project his numbers in his first match back after producing four assists and 61 crosses in his first nine starts of the season.

Starts Cup match Digne (ankle) started and played 66 minutes in Saturday's FA Cup match.
Impact Digne came in with the plan of playing around 60 minutes Saturday and that's what he finished with. Assuming all goes well in the next few days, he could return to the starting XI Tuesday at Wolves. That said, on a short week, there's a chance Ben Godfrey gets another start at left-back until Digne is back to full fitness.

Fit for Saturday Digne (ankle) is fit and an option for Saturday's FA Cup match, according to manager Carlo Ancelotti.
Impact This update kind of came out of nowhere for Digne, who was recently pictured working alone on the pitch. Given his time away, it'd be a surprise if he made the starting XI Saturday, but if he can get a few minutes, he'll soon be ready to take back his spot at left-back from Ben Godfrey.

Impact It's a stretch for Digne to be an option for the Jan. 16 contest given his time away from the pitch. Carlo Ancelotti's prior update was likely more about when the left-back would return to full training. It's more likely Digne will be brought along slowly and maybe an option top start later in the month.

Expected back in two weeks Digne (ankle) is going through individual training sessions and is expected to rejoin the first team in mid-January, according to manager Carlo Ancelotti.
Impact Digne injured his ankle at the end of January and it looks like it'll keep him out about two months following surgery. Everton originally struggled to replace him, but Ben Godfrey has figured things out at left-back and will likely remain there until Digne is ready to return.

Ankle injury confirmed Digne suffered an ankle ligament injury and will undergo surgery Monday, according to the team.
Impact An ankle surgery likely means Digne will miss more than a month and probably all of the holiday schedule. It's a blow to what has been a struggling Everton back line. Niels Nkounkou has featured once at left-back this season, but Ben Godfrey and Jonjoe Kenny figure to see the most uptick in minutes.
NOVEMBER 26, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Could be out extended period Digne suffered an ankle injury in training and could be out up to two months, reports French outlet France Football.
Impact This is clearly a situation to monitor for Digne, as it would be a massive blow to the Everton back line. Everton will likely release more details in the next 24 hours and if the report is true, Niels Nkounkou may have to step in for more starts at left-back, though Ben Godfrey and Jonjoe Kenny are also options who seem to play wherever needed.

Records two assists against Fulham Digne made a clearance and assisted two goals in Sunday's 3-2 victory against Fulham. He also won one of two tackles and he created five chances overall in the match.
Impact Digne grabbed his third and fourth assists of the season Sunday as he set up goals from Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Abdoulaye Doucoure in a six-minute period. Next weekend, he will face Leeds, which have scored 14 goals in nine Premier League matches.

Crosses eight in loss Digne had one shot not on target and eight crosses (two accurate) in Saturday's 3-1 loss against Manchester United.
Impact Digne continues to get forward every match, but his fantasy numbers aren't the same as prior seasons, now that James Rodriguez is taking set pieces. The other downside to Digne is that Everton are struggling to secure clean sheets, giving up multiple goals in each of their last five matches.

Eligible against Man United Digne served his suspension and is eligible for Saturday's match against Manchester United.
Impact Digne's suspended was taken down to one match, so he's back following Everton's loss against Newcastle. He'll return to his role at left-back Saturday, taking over for Niels Nkounkou and possibly taking set pieces if James Rodriguez misses out again.

Suspension down to one match Digne will only be suspended one match after his red card was downgraded Tuesday, according to the team.
Impact This is a nice boost for the Everton back line, as Digne will be eligible to return for the Nov. 7 match against Manchester United. While there's a chance Niels Nkounkou could start at Newcastle on Sunday, there's also a chance Jonjoe Kenny returns to the squad, possibly moving Ben Godfrey to left-back.

Impact Digne stepped on the Achilles of Kyle Walker-Peters while trying to slow him down and was handed a straight red card after clipping his heals. If confirmed, he'll be out for the next three matches against Newcastle, Manchester United and Fulham and Niels Nkounkou could see an immediate inclusion into the first team while Digne is out.

Assists late against Liverpool Digne assisted to go with three chances created, five crosses (two accurate) and seven clearances in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Liverpool.
Impact Digne's assist boosted his fantasy value Saturday, similar to the opener against Tottenham. His numbers have been a bit all over this season, but his floor has been fairly reliable no matter what it comes from. His defensive stats take a hit against weaker teams, but he's always in play for double-digit crosses even if that's happened in just one of five matches this season.
