Overview

• The midfielder was cautioned late in the 1-1 draw with West Ham for a challenge on Kyle Walker-Peters by referee Samuel Barrott, reaching five bookings and activating an automatic ban.
• He will miss Sunday, 5 October against Crystal Palace and is set to be available again for the trip to Manchester City on 18 October.
• Dewsbury-Hall called the decision "mind boggling" on X, while David Moyes described it as a "really shabby" call and lamented recent officiating standards.
• Everton must identify an alternative creator, with Iliman Ndiaye, Tyler Dibling, Charly Alcaraz or Dwight McNeil under consideration after understudies struggled in the Carabao Cup defeat at Molineux.
• The £25m summer signing from Chelsea has started every league match and ranks highly for expected assists, raising concerns about chance creation in his absence.
