# Everton: Tom Davies out until next season

**Everton midfielder Tom Davies has revealed on social media that he won’t make a return from injury until next season.**

### The Lowdown: One league start

Davies, who has started just [one](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tom-davies/leistungsdaten/spieler/314210) Premier League game all season, has been out of action since November after suffering a [knee](https://www.evertonfc.com/news/2444795/davies-injury-update) injury against Tottenham.

He then sustained a [hamstring](https://www.evertonfc.com/news/2444795/davies-injury-update) issue at the end of December and had to undergo surgery on the high-grade tendon problem.

As we know, the 23-year-old is yet to return to action under Frank Lampard, and the new manager will now have to wait until the summer before getting a good look at the midfielder.

### The Latest: Davies responds to fan

A Toffees fan asked Davies on Instagram for an update on his injury and when he would make a long-awaited return.

Relayed on [Twitter (via @NSNOTalks)](https://twitter.com/NsnoTalks/status/1494047080570138637/photo/1), Davies replied, saying ‘next season’ with a crying face emoji.

### The Verdict: Not good

Davies, who [Alan Myers](https://thisisfutbol.com/2021/03/blogs/premier-league/everton/everton-sky-sports-journalist-praises-tom-davies/) said last year gets ‘a lot of stick from fans’, has had a season to forget after playing just [155](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tom-davies/leistungsdaten/spieler/314210) minutes of league football.

Lampard hasn’t had the best of starts in terms of injuries, with Yerry Mina also out until April with a thigh problem, and although there was hope Davies would return in [April](https://www.hampshirelive.news/sport/football/football-news/everton-frank-lampard-players-southampton-6656938), that won’t be the case.

You’d expect his main focus now will be on returning to fitness in time for a full pre-season under Lampard with a view to becoming a regular starter in 2022/23 – he couldn’t ask for a much better coach to help him develop into a top central midfielder.
