Christian Norgaard has faced some bad luck with new club Everton so far, and he’s expected to be out injured until after this month’s international break.
Former Arsenal midfielder Christian Norgaard left the club for Everton this summer, having won the Premier League title in his one season in north London.
The Danish 32-year-old departed with the intention to rack up regular minutes with his new club, but it hasn’t worked out that way so far.
Norgaard has missed the first four games of Everton’s season with a groin injury, and he’s set for more time on the sidelines over the next couple of weeks.
That’s according to Everton boss David Moyes, who has told the media that the club aren’t expecting Norgaard back until after the September internationals.
“We don’t expect to see [him] before the international break, but he is just starting to make a little bit of progress [in his recovery from injury], so that’s a positive, because we’ll need his experience and an extra body going forward,” Moyes said (via Ben Dinnery).
As a result, Norgaard is set to miss Everton’s trip away to Tottenham Hotspur, their League Cup third round match at home to Wolves, and their Premier League game at home to Ipswich Town.
