Marco Silva confirmed that Everton will be without Fabian Delph against Liverpool on Wednesday, admitting the 30-year-old is “not training” with the first-team.

The midfielder did take part in a training session with the Three Lions, however.



He said in a pre-match press conference: “Delph is not training in this moment with the team.” Delph has missed Everton’s last three games due to a hamstring injury – 2-1 win over Southampton (November 9), 2-0 defeat to Norwich City (November 23), 2-1 defeat to Leicester City (December 1) but was expected to have returned by now.



Tom Davies partnered Gylfi Sigurdsson in midfield in Sunday’s 2-1 defeat to Leicester City and may have to line up alongside him again on Wednesday evening.

How will Everton fare against Liverpool?

Delph suffered a setback in his recovery which ruled him out against Southampton, and he’s not made much progress in the weeks that followed.

Everton aren’t blessed with a lot of fit and available options in the engine room currently – Jean-Philippe Gbamin (thigh), Andre Gomes (ankle) – so Delph’s ongoing absence is a blow.
