David Moyes spoke to the media at Finch Farm today ahead of tomorrow’s clash with fellow strugglers Leicester City.
He spoke of the injuries that have afflicted two of his key players, explaining that Orel Mangala will return to France to undergo surgery but that Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s injury is not as bad as first feared and the Club are hopeful he will play again this season.
Youssef Chermiti is still around four weeks away according to the manager.
Moyes added that Everton’s need for players ahead of the transfer deadline has heightened but that the market is challenging given the Blues’ PSR concerns.
He said he is hopeful of adding at least one name before the window closes but he sounded less confident than a week ago.
“The injuries show we have even more reason to think that we have to bring in some players,” he said. “We know, so it’s not that we don’t do that.
“It’s just so difficult to get players in that we want.”
