Amadou Onana, the Everton midfielder, has departed from Belgium's squad during the international break due to a calf injury. Onana has been struggling with the ongoing calf issue and was unable to feature in Belgium's recent friendly against Serbia. The Red Devils confirmed his departure from the camp in a social media post, stating that Onana will be returning to Goodison Park for treatment.
This injury setback comes after Onana missed Everton's draw against Brighton and Hove Albion earlier this month but was able to start in their victory over Crystal Palace. However, he was substituted at halftime and replaced by Idrissa Gana Gueye, who scored the winning goal.
Everton manager Sean Dyche explained the decision to substitute Onana, citing his ongoing calf issues. Dyche praised Gueye for his professionalism and performance in the match.
With the upcoming fixture against Manchester United on November 26, Everton will hope for Onana to recover in time. His absence could potentially disrupt their momentum, as Onana has become an integral member of the team's recent unbeaten run.
The Toffees will now focus on providing Onana with the necessary treatment to help him return to full fitness and play a crucial role in their clash with Manchester United.
