EVERTON midfielder Andre Gomes will have surgery on Monday after suffering a fracture-dislocation to his right ankle in their Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur, his club have said. The Portugal international sustained the injury in the 1-1 draw at Goodison Park on Sunday after landing off balance at speed following a tackle from Spurs forward Son Heung-min. Everton released a statement confirming Gomes would need surgery but did not set out a timeline for his return. “We will give all support to Andre and his family,” Silva told reporters. You never want to see anyone get hurt that seriously, but it’s also part of the game.
