James Tarkowski will not return to play for Everton this season after suffering a hamstring injury that requires surgery. This development follows his exit during a recent match against Manchester City, marking a significant loss for Everton as they approach the end of the season. Manager David Moyes noted that Tarkowski's recovery could affect their pre-season preparations and described his absence as a 'big blow.' The defender has been instrumental for the team, having not missed a league game since joining in 2022, and was close to a Premier League record.
Tarkowski hobbled off injured during the 2-0 home defeat by Manchester City last weekend, and surgery means he will not play for Everton again this season.
Losing Tarkowski for the remaining five Premier League matches is a 'big blow,' as he has played a crucial role in the team's performance recently.
Moyes emphasized Tarkowski's importance by stating, 'Tarky plays such a huge part in how we've done so well in this period.'
Tarkowski falls two games short of equaling Wayne Bridge's record of 113 consecutive starts for an outfield player in the Premier League.
