Doucoure ruled out by foot injury

Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure has suffered a foot injury that will rule him out of the Toffees' forthcoming fixtures.

The Frenchman has been in great form for Rafa Benitez' side so far this season, but picked up his second foot injury of the current campaign during Sunday's 1-0 defeat to West Ham, although the club have confirmed he will not require surgery.

The 28-year-old suffered a "stress response in a bone in his foot" and joins fellow midfielders Andre Gomes and Fabian Delph on the sidelines at Goodison Park, with the Blues also shorn of strike options Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison.

Everton face Doucoure's former employers Watford in the Premier League on Saturday at 15:00 BST.
