# Everton: Fans slam Jean-Philippe Gbamin after latest injury setback

**Many Everton fans have been slamming Jean-Philippe Gbamin as the [Liverpool Echo](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everton-injury-news-richarlison-allan-18324806) have reported that he could be sidelined until 2021.**

According to the outlet, the Ivory Coast international suffered an injury to his Achilles in training in what is his latest setback.

Gbamin has had a rather poor injury record dating back to his playing time with RC Lens and Mainz, and he missed a quite staggering 42 games in total for the Merseyside club in the 2019/20 term, as per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.com/jean-philippe-gbamin/verletzungen/spieler/182894).

With the arrival of Allan from SSC Napoli in the summer transfer window, the playing time of the 25-year old will be limited even when he recovers.

Therefore, Carlo Ancelotti’s team may have a big decision to make with regards to his future if Gbamin cannot get over his injury woes.
