Henry Onyekuru is back at Everton - but don’t expect him to play anytime soon

Henry Onyekuru has confirmed he is back at Finch Farm after his loan spell at Anderlecht was cut short through injury.

Onyekuru joined Everton for £7m from K.A.S. Eupen in the summer before being immediately loaned out to Anderlecht for the season.

The 20-year-old impressed for the Belgian side, scoring nine goals in 25 appearances in all competitions.

However, the Nigeria international suffered a knee injury playing against his former club last month.

Anderlecht subsequently released a statement confirming that Onyekuru required surgery and would be out for several months.

As a result, Onyekuru finds himself back at Everton sooner than expected and now faces a race against time to be fit for the World Cup this summer.
