Everton midfielder Jean-Philippe Gbamin will not require surgery on the medial collateral ligament knee contact injury he sustained during training at the weekend.

The 25-year-old Ivorian underwent a scan in London yesterday which confirmed an operation was not needed.

Gbamin, who Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti confirmed will not play again this season as a result of the injury, will now undergo his rehabilitation with Everton’s medical staff at USM Finch Farm.
