Merlin Röhl outlines recovery timeline; potential return against Hull City

Summary

Everton's Merlin Röhl expects to return from injury in about a week and a half, targeting the match against Hull City on October 11. The 24-year-old midfielder has missed the last three fixtures due to an undisclosed fitness issue. Previously, he played as a right-back in the opening three Premier League games due to David Moyes' injury situation. Ainsley Maitland-Niles has performed well in Röhl's absence, complicating his path back to a starting position.
