Richarlison, Hugo Lloris and full Tottenham Hotspur injury list for Everton

Everton are busy gearing up for their return to Premier League action when they face Tottenham Hotspur.

The Blues take on Spurs in Monday Night Football, in what will be their first match after the international break. It sees Everton looking to resume their battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League.

Sean Dyche’s side are currently in 15th place in the league table and two points above the bottom three. However, the Blues have played more matches than all but one of the teams below them.

Everton are unlikely to have Dominic Calvert-Lewin back available for the clash at Goodison Park. The striker has been out with a hamstring injury since the start of February.

Tottenham themselves will have a number of injury concerns. It will also be their first game since the departure of manager Antonio Conte.

And here is a look at Spurs' full injury list ahead of the clash with the Blues on Monday.

Yves Bissouma

Midfielder Yves Bissouma has been sidelined with an ankle injury since the start of February.

Surgery was required and now the Mali international faces a spell on the sidelines as he recovers.

Stellini confirmed that Bissouma still has not recovered in time to face Everton, and will be unavailable for the clash on Monday night.

Rodrigo Bentancur

Fellow midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur suffered a serious knee injury in February, which has already ruled him out for the remainder of the season.

The Uruguay international is not expected to return to action until around November.

Hugo Lloris

Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has been sidelined with a knee injury since the start of February.

He has since been replaced by Fraser Forster, and was not expected to return until the end of April at the earliest.

But Stellini says that Lloris has returned to training with the first-team, meaning he has a chance of making his return to action against Everton.

Richarlison

Richarlison suffered an injury in Tottenham’s 3-3 draw with Southampton just before the international break.

It led to the former Everton forward being withdrawn from the Brazil squad, but there were initial hopes that he could be fit in time to face his old club.

However, Stellini says that Richarlison is still suffering from a "problem", meaning he is still a doubt to face Everton.

Ryan Sessegnon

Ryan Sessegnon has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since the start of February.

It was initially expected that he would be sidelined for six weeks, but Stellini confirmed in his press conference on Friday that the defender is yet to recover in time to face Everton.

Ben Davies

Defender Ben Davies suffered a hamstring injury during Tottenham's 3-3 draw with Southampton before the international break.

Stellini says that Davies is still recovering from his injury, and is not expected to be available to face Everton on Monday night at Goodison.
