# Everton fans react to Digne injury during Manchester United clash

Everton were dealt a huge blow during their clash with Manchester United on Sunday as Lucas Digne was forced off with an injury in the first-half.

Digne had been struggling with a groin injury during the week, which appeared to resurface as he was replaced by Leighton Baines at Old Trafford.

### READ EVERTON VERDICT

Whilst Digne is an important player for Everton and has been in good form this season, it must be noted that his replacement – Baines – was crucial to the first goal. It was Baines’ corner that found its way to the ankles of Victor Lindelof – who could only divert into his own net.

Everton will now be hoping that Digne’s injury does not rule him out in the long-term, with a busy Christmas schedule coming up for the Toffees. That being said, Baines is a more than capable player to step up and fill in for however many games he is needed for.
