David Moyes rules Everton duo out of Crystal Palace game | OneFootball

David Moyes has confirmed that Everton duo Jarrad Branthwaite and Merlin Röhl will again miss this weekend’s game against Crystal Palace.

Branthwaite is yet to play this season because of a hamstring injury and has not returned to team training, Moyes says, along with summer signing Rohl.

“Both the same, no change,” Moyes said. “Neither of them are fit for the game but they’re both making progress and, with a little bit of luck, we’ll start to get them on the grass.

“We’ve not got them on the grass yet in training, so that’s where we’re at.”

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall will also miss out through suspension after picking up a fifth yellow card of the season against West Ham, something Moyes believes is unfair.

“We have spoken to [the PGMOL] and I think they’re accepting that both of those yellow cards [against Liverpool and West Ham] were wrong,” he said.

“It’s amazing, Kiernan is a boy who, when you look through his history, I think he had six bookings in total last year and the year before maybe five bookings, so he’s never had these numbers at all.

“The last two decisions are terrible, they really are – more for the boy. We’re going to miss him greatly but more for the boy because he’s back playing regularly now and he’s enjoying his football.”
