# Everton: Fans react to injury update on Jean-Philippe Gbamin

**Many Everton fans have been reacting to an injury update on Jean-Philippe Gbamin as the [Liverpool Echo](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/gbamin-everton-injury-news-training-19198098) have reported that he will hopefully play by the end of the year.**

As per the news outlet, the Ivory Coast international will return to Finch Farm after the next international break.

Gbamin is stepping up his rehabilitation from a problem with his Achilles in a suburb of Paris, where Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed he will remain.

The 25-year old has had a horrid injury record dating back to his time with both Lens and Mainz, while he missed a staggering 42 matches for the Merseyside club in the 2019/20 season ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.com/jean-philippe-gbamin/verletzungen/spieler/182894)).

Nonetheless, Gbamin still has a lot to offer the Toffees, as in the 2018/19 campaign before his move to the Blues from Mainz, the defensive midfielder won a rather impressive 5.3 of his duels per match in the Bundesliga and also averaged 1.6 tackles and one interception per appearance ([Sofascore](https://www.sofascore.com/player/jean-philippe-gbamin/326343)).
