### READ EVERTON VERDICT

His injury problems will be a big concern for Marco Silva and England manager Gareth Southgate.

The Toffees are said to be actively looking for a new midfielder in January with Andre Gomes and Jean-Philippe Gbamin ruled out and Delph’s fitness being questionable.

Despite this, it’s the man’s birthday so cut him some slack. Happy birthday Fabian from everyone at Read Everton!
