"Branthwaite has yet to feature for Everton in 2025-26 after sustaining a hamstring injury during pre-season. Though the issue was initially described as a "minor niggle", the 23-year-old has suffered a setback and will not have a hamstring operation, with no date currently set for his return."
""Following specialist consultation, it has been determined the defender will undergo a surgical procedure to address the issue," Everton said in a statement. "Branthwaite will commence a structured rehabilitation programme under the supervision of the club's medical team following the operation.""
"Branthwaite signed a five-year contract in early July, having previously attracted attention from the likes of Manchester United and Tottenham. He played 30 Premier League matches last season, contributing to eight clean sheets. Only James Tarkowski (42) made more blocks than Branthwaite (23) in the competition last term."
