Everton midfielder Jean-Philippe Gbamin hopes he will be ready for the start of pre-season training.

The all action star suffered another injury on his comeback last month.

Gbamin has been battling thigh and Achilles issues, meaning he has only played 135 minutes since signing in the summer of 2019.

According to the Liverpool Echo, Gbamin is confident of being fully fit by pre-season, as he undergoes rehab at Finch Farm on the knee injury he sustained in training before a game against Brighton.

Gbamin did not need surgery, but did have medial ligament damage, which ruled him out for the rest of this season.
