Doctor: Everton’s Chermiti unlikely to play full 90 minutes against Wolves post-injury

An injury expert has indicated that Youssef Chermiti, the forward yet to play this season due to a pre-season setback, still has a considerable recovery period before he can last a full match.

If deemed fit for Everton’s game at Goodison Park on 4 December, his playing time will likely be carefully managed.

Speaking to Goodison News, Dr. Brar, a Physical Therapy and Sports Science specialist, shared his perspective on Chermiti’s condition.

He explained, “Having been out since August, Chermiti will need a substantial period to build up to playing 90 minutes.

The exact timeframe depends on how his body responds to increased activity.

For now, he isn’t expected to complete a full match as he hasn’t yet rejoined the first team.”

Everton must avoid rushing the 20-year-old back into action. Since joining the club, Chermiti has struggled to adapt, making just 18 league appearances last season, only one as a starter.

Sean Dyche has had limited opportunities to assess his contributions, and this season’s injury has further complicated matters.

The timeline for Chermiti’s full recovery remains uncertain, as does his ability to secure a regular place in the starting lineup.

His return will require cautious management to prevent setbacks and ensure long-term success for both the player and the team.
