OGC Nice youngster Everton suffers season-ending injury | OneFootball

OGC Nice youngster Everton (18) has suffered an ankle injury in training. He will miss the end of the season, according to a report from L’Équipe.

Everton, the son of former Nice player Everson, made his breakthrough into the first team this season. The midfielder had come through the ranks and was given his chance with the pros following the arrival of Claude Puel as manager.

Everton started two games in Ligue 1

Since Puel’s nomination, following Franck Haise’s departure at the end of December, Everton had made two starts in Ligue 1, against RC Strasbourg Alsace and Toulouse FC. He also featured in the Côte d’Azur derby against AS Monaco in February, as well as two UEFA Europa League encounters, prior to Le Gym’s elimination at the ‘League Phase’ stage.

L’Équipe describes the injury sustained by Everton as serious. As a result, he will not play again this season.
