Abdoulaye Doucoure, Everton's midfielder, has suffered a foot injury. However, the club said that he will not need surgery.

During Sunday's 1-0 loss at home to West Ham, the Premier League, the Frenchman, aged 28, experienced a stress response in a bone in one of his feet.

Everton's medical team are currently assessing the severity of the injury.

Rafael Benitez's team is already without Fabian Delph and Andre Gomes, as well forwards Dominic Calvert Lewin and Richarlison.

Doucoure was injured several weeks ago with a small fracture to his foot. He has been in great form this season for the Toffees and has provided the joint-second highest number of assists in the Premier League.

Everton will host Watford in league action on Saturday, at 15:00 BST
