FA Cup Third Round: Sunderland vs Everton Confirmed Lineups

Everton Team News

Everton will be missing eight players. Jack Grealish and Michael Keane are suspended, while Iliman Ndiaye and Idrissa Gana Gueye are participating in AFCON. The injured players include Jarrad Branthwaite, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Charly Alcaraz, and Seamus Coleman.

Everton manager David Moyes expressed his disappointment regarding the red card given to Michael Keane during the match against Wolves. He stated, “I am hugely disappointed and surprised. I’m quite angry with the panel’s decision to uphold it. I question their judgment, especially given that we saw instances in recent games where harsher actions weren’t penalized as severely.”

Sunderland Team News

Wilson Isidor may play after missing two matches due to a minor injury. Coach Regis Le Bris mentioned, “Wilson is improving. He trained with the team today, but we are cautious and won’t rush him back.”

Habib Diarra and Chemsdine Talbi are still at AFCON, but Reinildo, Bertrand Traoré, Noah Sadiki, and Arthur Masuaku are available again after their national teams were eliminated. However, they may not be ready to play just yet.
