# Everton: Fans buzz over Abdoulaye Doucoure’s injury news

**Lots of Everton fans have been left buzzing as some news emerged on Abdoulaye Doucoure.**

As per [Fabrizio Romano](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1453012399775272963), the central midfield player is now set to back from injury earlier than initially expected.

He is preparing to come back in between four and four and a half weeks, after the next international break has finished.

Doucoure is currently ranked as the Merseyside club’s second-best player in the Premier League so far this season, only behind Dominic Calvert-Lewin with an average rating of 7.3 given by [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/31/Show/England-Everton), and his swift return will no doubt be welcomed by Rafa Benitez given their last couple of [results](https://www.evertonfc.com/results) at Goodison Park, in which they have lost 1-0 and 5-2 to West Ham United and Watford respectively.

A return after the international break would rather crucially mark him fit for the visit of Liverpool on December 1.
