David Moyes was handed a new selection headache for the game with Nottingham Forest just 22 minutes into the match with Bournemouth.<\/p>\n
Tim Iroegbunam, who started in a makeshift central midfield alongside Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, was booked for a sliding tackle on Antoine Semenyo.<\/p>\n
The yellow card was his fifth of the season and means he will not be available for the return of Sean Dyche to Everton<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n It is a game that veteran midfielder Idrissa Gueye will also miss as he serves the third and final match of his suspension for the straight red card he received at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Bournemouth vs Everton LIVE score – Tim Iroegbunam suspension blow after Michael Keane injury<\/a>READ MORE: Everton line-up for Bournemouth confirmed as major absentee missing for Blues<\/a><\/p>\n That was for an incident involving Michael Keane, whose absence at the Vitality Stadium forced a reshuffle of the team that led to James Garner starting at right back. Keane was ruled out through injury.<\/p>\n Garner will be the only fit and available specialist central midfielder available to Moyes at the weekend – provided he avoids a yellow card at Bournemouth.<\/p>\n Iroegbunam\u2019s absence will come as a blow with Jarrad Branthwaite, Merlin Rohl and Seamus Coleman currently unavailable through injury.<\/p>\n Speaking on Keane’s injury before the game, Moyes said: “He had a little bit of an injury going into the Newcastle game and played but unfortunately he couldn’t make this one, so we’ve had to make a change. “We don’t know [how long he’ll be out]. We hope he might [recover] quite quickly.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Everton were already without the injured Michael Keane before suffering a new problem 20:02, 02 Dec 2025Updated 20:07,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":295771,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[1840,218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-295770","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-everton","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom","13":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295770","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=295770"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295770\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/295771"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=295770"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=295770"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=295770"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
