Impact Pope suffered a late groin injury in training ahead of Saturday's clash against the Toffees, ruling him out for the game. This injury comes in a strange moment when his starting role was questioned due to his bad outing in the Champions League against Marseille. That said, the goalie is expected to have a scan in the coming days to know the extent of the issue and if he has to miss more time. If this is the case, Aaron Ramsdale will replace him between the posts until he returns.

Misses with injury Pope was ruled out for Saturday's match against Everton due to an injury, according to his club.

Impact Pope hit the sidelines Saturday with an injury, as the goalie was not an option for the club to face the Toffees.

That said, Aaron Ramsdale was given the start in his place.

Five saves in loss Pope registered five saves and allowed two goals in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat to Marseille.

Impact Pope had a decent first half to counter Pierre-Emerick Aubameyangs first-half chances and made one incredible save when the striker chested and volleyed from a Mason Greenwood pass. The turning point of the game came a few seconds after the break when Pope rushed outside of his box toward a long ball, allowing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to round him and curl in from a tight angle to equalize. Four minutes later, he was beaten again at his near post by the Gabonese instinctive half-volley from a decent cross coming from the right flank. The error from Pope on the first goal was important in the result of the game but coach Eddie Howe backed him in the post-match presser. The goalie will hope to show a better figure in Saturday's clash against Everton.

Allows one against City Pope registered three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 win against Manchester City.

Impact Pope would only allow one goal and had a solid outing against City, only failing to stop a header in the second half, a tough situation for the keeper. This is his second straight match since his last clean sheet, remaining at five in 12 league appearances. He will have a tough time ending that streak next contest, facing Marseille in UCL play on Tuesday.
