Moyes discusses injury concerns ahead of Everton's match against Bournemouth

Summary

David Moyes confirmed that Hayden Hackney is uncertain for Everton’s upcoming match against Bournemouth on Saturday. Hackney, who debuted impressively, rolled his ankle last weekend, leading to his absence in the midweek win against Preston in the Carabao Cup. Moyes indicated that while Hackney's availability is in doubt, Christian Nørgaard remains out as his recovery has stalled. James Garner is working on regaining match fitness after recovering from a hernia injury, but Moyes noted he still needs more game time to reach optimal condition. Everton aims to bolster their midfield options as they prepare for the EPL clash.
