What’s been said
Everton manager David Moyes said at his post-match press conference: “We think he has possibly kicked the ground. He may have jarred his knee or opened his knee up. I’m not sure yet. We don’t know how serious it is yet, we’ll find out more tomorrow.”
Ndiaye has been magnificent since joining Everton from Marseille in last summer’s transfer window. He has become a talisman figure, recording eight goals in 26 games.
Everton will definitely be without Abdoualye Doucoure against Palace at Selhurst Park. The attacking midfielder must serve a one-match suspension after he was sent-off following the final whistle against Liverpool.
Doucoure celebrated the draw, earned by James Tarkowski’s thundering 98th-minute volley, in front of the away supporters and was grabbed by Reds midfielder Curtis Jones. Both were given second yellow cards while Liverpool head coach Arne Slot and assistant Sipke Hulshoff were given red cards by referee Michael Oliver following a melee.
