Everton midfielder Christian Norgaard remains sidelined with a groin injury

Summary

Everton midfielder Christian Norgaard will miss the club's upcoming fixtures as he continues recovering from a groin injury. Manager David Moyes confirmed that the 32-year-old is not expected to return to the pitch until after the international break in September. This recovery timeline rules Norgaard out of the team's matches against Tottenham Hotspur, the League Cup third-round tie versus Wolves, and the Premier League fixture against Ipswich Town. Norgaard joined Everton this summer after spending one season at Arsenal. In separate team news, Ainsley Maitland-Niles made his debut for the club on Sunday. The 29-year-old defender entered the match as a substitute in the 77th minute and recorded an equalizing goal against Manchester United in the 96th minute.
