Tosun Back At Everton Ahead Of Knee Surgery

Cenk Tosun has returned to Everton and will undergo surgery next week after sustaining an injury to his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) during training with loan club Crystal Palace.

Striker Tosun, who has scored 10 goals in 51 Everton appearances following a transfer from Besiktas in January 2018, completed a temporary move to Selhurst Park two months ago.

The Turkey international, capped 42 times by his country, struck on his first Palace start in a 2-2 draw at Premier League champions Manchester City on 18 January.

Tosun, 28, played five times for Roy Hodgson’s team but his time in south London has been cut short after he was hurt in a training session on Monday.

The player will continue his rehabilitation under the care of Everton’s medical staff at the Club’s USM Finch Farm training headquarters following the surgical procedure on his ACL.
