Everton’s experienced winger Ashley Young has been ruled out for the remainder of the season following a significant injury setback. The 38-year-old, who has been a key figure in Everton’s squad this season, is facing a lengthy recovery period after suffering a serious injury in their recent match.
The club confirmed the news in a statement, revealing that Young had sustained damage to his muscle and would require surgery, putting him on the sidelines for the rest of the 2024-2025 campaign. The injury is expected to keep him out for several months, significantly impacting Everton’s depth in the attacking third.
Young has made a crucial contribution to the team since joining in the summer, providing leadership, experience, and versatility. His absence will undoubtedly be felt as the Toffees look to avoid relegation and secure their Premier League status.
Everton’s manager, Sean Dyche, expressed his disappointment over the news, saying, “Ashley has been a fantastic professional for us, and his leadership on and off the pitch has been invaluable. We’ll do everything we can to support him during his recovery.”
The injury leaves Everton with a gap in their squad, with the club now looking to adjust their tactics and rely on other attacking options for the remainder of the season. Fans will be hoping for a swift recovery for the veteran winger as he aims to return to action next season.
