Roberto De Zerbi has provided updates regarding the squad for the upcoming match against Everton. The game is set for Sunday at 4 PM UK time.
Player Availability for the Match
Dominic Solanke is back in the lineup after recovering from a hamstring injury. He had been sidelined since April 25, when he sustained the injury during a 1-0 victory over Wolves. During his absence, he missed three matches, including contests against Aston Villa, Leeds United, and Chelsea.
James Maddison’s Fitness Status
Alongside Solanke, James Maddison is also available for selection. After returning from an ACL injury, he has been gradually reintegrated into the squad. Maddison has contributed 16 and 28 minutes in recent games against Leeds and Chelsea.
Djed Spence’s Condition
Djed Spence is also fit to play despite suffering a facial injury from a collision with Liam Delap at Stamford Bridge. De Zerbi criticized the incident, implying that it warranted a red card for Delap, although he emphasized a focus on the upcoming game rather than officiating decisions.
