Michael Keane - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Red card appeal dismissed Keane will remain suspended three matches after his red card appeal was dismissed by the FA panel.

Impact Everton and David Moyes are rightly upset at the FA's decision to keep the red and three-game suspension for Keane. He'll be suspended until Jan. 31, being suspended for one FA Cup match and two in league play. With Jarrad Branthwaite still injured, that likely means Jake O'Brien has to move centrally while possibly Nathan Patterson features at right-back.

Sent off Wednesday Keane was shown a red card in the second half of Wednesday's draw against Wolverhampton.

Impact Keane was given his marching orders after a violent action during his second consecutive league start. The center-back will be ineligible for a minimum of there games, and his place in the starting lineup could be taken by Nathan Patterson if Jarrad Branthwaite (hamstring) remains sidelined.

Ready to keep starting Keane went the full 90 in Sunday's 4-2 loss against Brentford and came through the game fine after returning from injury, according to manager David Moyes.

Impact Keane looks to be fine going forward after missing the Nottingham Forest game a week ago because of a minor injury. He's served well this season, already on 18 starts after totaling just 15 combined the prior two campaigns. It's unclear if he'll keep the job when Jarrad Branthwaite fully returns, but until then, Keane will remain in the XI when healthy.

Makes starting XI Keane (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Brentford.

Impact Keane was a possibility for Sunday, and after some testing, the defender has found a spot in the starting XI after his undisclosed injury. He is their regular starter at centerback and should continue in this role, only missing two starts all season.

Could return Sunday Keane (undisclosed) "has got a chance" of being an option Sunday against Brentford, according to manager David Moyes.

Impact Keane missed the last outing with an injury but is now battling his health to be an option Sunday, a late call, and likely needing to pass some testing. His return will be anticipated, with the defender only missing two starts all season. However, if he drops to the sidelines for a second straight game, Nathan Patterson will probably start again while Jake O'Brien moves to a central role.

Out with injury Keane is out for Tuesday's match against Nottingham Forest due to an injury, according to manager David Moyes. "I'm not going to tell you what the injuries are, but obviously they'...

Impact Keane is not with the team Tuesday as they enter a busy portion of the schedule, as the defender misses out with an injury. Not much has been given on his status, although this will be something to watch with another game around the corner on Sunday. This leaves them without a starting defender, with Jake O'Brien taking a more central role while Nathan Patterson is starting at right-back.

Returns in starting defense Keane (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Keane was dealing with an injury but seems to have fully recovered since he returns directly to the starting defense for Saturday's clash against Nottingham Forest. His availability allows coach David Moyes to restore his usual defensive structure rather than relying on emergency alternatives.

Still doubtful against Forest Keane (undisclosed) is still a doubt for Saturday's clash against Nottingham Forest, coach David Moyes said in the press conference. "I'm not sure yet if he's going to be right. He...

Impact Keane is still dealing with an injury and will likely be a late fitness call for Saturday's clash against Nottingham Forest since coach David Moyes doesn't know if he will be able to make it. This raises some concern since Everton have numerous injuries and suspensions, and the absence of Keane will force the manager to reconsider his lineup, with James Garner likely starting again at right back, while Jake O'Brien replaces Keane in central defense.

Impact Keane isn't worried to have suffered a long-term injury, but he did miss Tuesday's trip to Bournemouth. The defender will hope to be back sooner rather than later, with his absence forcing James Garner back into the defense. Keane has started 13 times so far this season, already surpassing his total minutes from 2024/25.

Missing from team sheet Keane is out for Tuesday's match against Bournemouth for undisclosed reasons.

Impact Keane is hitting the sidelines Tuesday as the Toffees enter a midweek match, with the defender unable to make the match for undisclosed reasons, possibly an injury. This will be something to monitor with the quick turnaround this week, another match set to take place Saturday against Nottingham Forest. He is a regular starter, so this is a crucial loss, with Tim Iroegbunam entering the starting XI due to his absence, as O'Brien moves centrally in the defense, while Garner takes over right-back to make space for Iroegbunam.
