Everton is gearing up to face West Ham United in a crucial clash on Saturday, March 2, at Goodison Park for the 27th matchday of the English Premier League. However, the Toffees might have to navigate this fixture without the services of Senegalese midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye, who is grappling with a groin injury.
In a press conference held on Thursday, Everton’s head coach, Sean Dyche, addressed the media and shed light on Gana Gueye’s current situation. Dyche stated, “Gana is still slowly coming back.
So we are following him, and a decision on his case will be announced this Friday.”

Everton recently received a boost as the appeal committee overturned a 10-point deduction imposed last November, restoring four points to the Toffees.

The encounter against West Ham United takes on heightened significance for Everton, and Sean Dyche will need to weigh his options carefully if Gana Gueye is indeed sidelined.
The manager’s decision, anticipated to be announced on Friday, will play a pivotal role in shaping Everton’s lineup and strategy for the crucial fixture.
As the Toffees strive for a positive outcome, the Everton faithful will be anxiously awaiting news on Gana Gueye’s availability and rallying behind the team in their pursuit of a favorable result against West Ham United.
