Amadou Onana gives update as Sean Dyche explains Everton plan for 'knee injury'

Amadou Onana will have a knee issue explored but neither he nor Sean Dyche believe it is likely to be serious.

The midfielder was taken off in the second half during Everton's win over Leeds United at Goodison Park. He had earlier gone down with an injury and received treatment on the pitch but carried on until being replaced by Tom Davies in the 74th minute.

The Belgium international later took to social media to both celebrate a significant win for the Blues and reassure supporters by writing: "I‘ll be back no worries."

There was clear concern on the Everton bench when Onana first went down just before the half hour mark. He was assisted by the physio but quickly returned to action and played a role in Everton's success in midfield, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Idrissa Gueye both excellent alongside him as the Blues outfought the visitors.

After the match, Dyche provided more insight on the matter, explaining the 21-year-old had recently been dealing with a knee issue. He said: "We will wait and see [what his condition is], he has had a niggly knee injury so they will get on top of that [on Sunday] and Monday as well.

"I think it is manageable as his fitness improves and as his game understanding improves and he certainly had two more than able people with him today because I thought Douc [Doucoure] and Gana [Gueye] were absolutely outstanding."
