Overview
- After Michael Keane was injured, David Moyes shifted James Garner to right-back and introduced Tim Iroegbunam, contributing to a 2-1 comeback against Crystal Palace.
- Iroegbunam won the penalty for the equaliser as Everton’s second-half substitutes, including Carlos Alcaraz and Beto, changed the game’s tempo.
- The Liverpool Echo reports Moyes could use Garner as a stop-gap right-back, with longer-term recruitment of a specialist still under consideration.
- Everton’s options on that flank remain uncertain, with Jake O’Brien struggling and Seamus Coleman and Nathan Patterson not expected to start.
- Garner says his target this season is to push for a first senior England call-up, with Moyes’ backing and media claims that Thomas Tuchel has been monitoring him.
