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.

Impact Keane had a decent outing on Sunday against Palace, contributing three shots, one tackle and nine clearances before being forced off right after the hour mark due to a rib injury. The center-back will be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the issue and whether he will have to miss some time. Keane has been an undisputed starter this season due to the injury of Jarrad Branthwaite (hamstring), and if both remain out after the break, Tim Iroegbunam will be a possible option to step in.

Signs new contract with Everton Keane has signed a one-year contract with Everton until the end of the 2025/26 season.

Impact Keane barely played for The Toffees in the 2024/25 campaign, but the defender has agreed to return to the club on a one-year deal. He's going to provide depth at the back, but he shouldn't have a lot of fantasy appeal in most formats.
