Which club did Everton loan Cenk Tosun out to in January?

Delph is out of action with a muscle injury and won’t return in time to face Wolves. It remains to be seen when he’ll be back, but Carlo Ancelotti is holding out hope of seeing the £10.8m-rated midfielder before the season finishes.

Gbamin is still recovering from surgery on an achilles injury and is likely to be out of action for the rest of the year. The 24-year-old has only made two appearances since joining Everton for £22.5m in August 2019.

Tosun is still out of action with a knee injury. The £10.8m-rated striker ruptured his anterior crucial ligament in March and was ruled out for six months.

Holgate is an injury doubt against Wolves but Carlo Ancelotti revealed that the £12.15m-rated defender was given a late fitness test on Saturday.

Gomes has a “knock on his ankle” and was another injury doubt ahead of the Wolves clash, but the 26-year-old was also given the chance to prove his fitness before Ancelotti made a final decision.
