The return of Lacina Traoré to France is a possibility that cannot be dismissed. The Ivorian striker, loaned by Monaco to Everton during the winter transfer window, suffered a muscle injury to his hamstring during a training session earlier this week. This injury is expected to keep him sidelined for several months, putting his future at Everton in doubt.
Roberto Martinez, the manager of Everton, was not definitive when asked about the potential return of Traoré to Monaco. He hinted at the possibility, stating, “If he is injured for two months…” without elaborating further.
Since joining Everton on loan, Traoré has only managed to make one appearance for the club, in the FA Cup match against Swansea, where he scored his first goal for the Toffees. However, his injury setback has raised questions about his immediate future with the English club.
