It’s a setback for Lacina Traoré shortly after his arrival at Everton. The Ivorian striker, who is on loan from Monaco, has suffered a hamstring muscle injury during training. Everton manager Roberto Martinez confirmed the news, expressing concern over Traoré’s potential absence from the field for several weeks or even months.
Martinez emphasized the importance of proper treatment for this type of injury, especially considering Traoré’s sprinting style of play. While the exact duration of his absence remains uncertain, Martinez indicated that such injuries typically require weeks rather than months of recovery.
Traoré’s injury comes after he had only managed to play one match for Everton so far, scoring in the FA Cup fixture against Swansea. This setback will undoubtedly be disappointing for both the player and the club as they navigate through the remainder of the season.
