Carlo Ancelotti believes that the returning Jean-Philippe Gbamin will be an “extremely important” player for Everton and has praised the midfielder’s qualities in training.
Carlo Ancelotti said: “Of course he needs time to be at his best, at 100%. Of course he needs time to avoid problems, to avoid injury above all. And so we have to take of this, absolutely. But I think he’s an extremely important player for us. He’s showing fantastic quality in training. His physicality, his technique is the quality of a top midfielder. We have to take care of this, we have to give him time to be back at his best. But, from what I see in training, he is available to play. I don’t know how long, but he’s going to play in these ten games.”
Everton take on Crystal Palace at Goodison Park on Monday evening in their return from the international break, with the hope that Gbamin could be involved from the bench after Ancelotti claimed he is ready.
