# Everton: Fans frustrated as Fabian Delph has fresh injury concerns

**Everton supporters have become [frustrated](https://twitter.com/EvertonNewsFeed/status/1191816938332274688) that midfielder Fabian Delph has picked up another [injury](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everton-assess-fabian-delph-ahead-17206830) in preparation for his side’s next Premier League game against Southampton on Saturday.**

Delph, who joined the club for [£10m](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48998009) from Manchester City in the summer, jumped straight into the heart of Everton’s midfield but Marco Silva’s side has struggled this season after only [three](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table) wins in their first 11 games.

The England international has suffered from a catalogue of injuries and only played for the Citizens on [17](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/27213/History/Fabian-Delph) occasions in all competitions last season.

The Toffees have found themselves in a similar scenario and have been unlucky to endure so many injuries in recent years.

According to the [Liverpool Echo](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everton-assess-fabian-delph-ahead-17206830), Delph appeared to hold his hamstring as he limped off after the Spurs game and was absent from training on Monday, indicating that there could be a future issue concerning Delph’s fitness.

Supporters were frustrated that they could be without both Andre Gomes and the 29-year-old for their trip to the South Coast.
