The English club Everton has revealed updates on the health status of its promising Moroccan defender Adam Aznou, who has missed the team's recent matches due to injury.

The club stated, via an official announcement published on its Instagram account, that Ukrainian defender Vitaliy Mykolenko is now ready after recovering from a thigh injury, while Aznou has returned to individual training following his ankle injury, but he still requires close monitoring before an official date for his return to competitions can be determined.

The absence of the Moroccan player from Everton's last match in the English League Cup against Mansfield, which ended in a 2-0 victory for the Toffees, raised numerous questions about his health status, especially after he was excluded from the national team list for the matches against Niger and Zambia in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Aznou, who is 19 years old, is considered one of Everton's most prominent signings during the summer transfer window, having joined from Bayern Munich, where he progressed through its youth ranks and gained significant experience within European training academies. The player is tied to a long-term contract with the English club that extends until the summer of 2029, indicating the management's clear confidence in his future abilities.

The Everton coaching staff hopes to regain the services of the Moroccan player in the coming weeks to strengthen the left side of the team's defense, while Aznou himself aspires to quickly overcome his ordeal in order to establish his position in the Premier League and secure a place in the Moroccan national team for upcoming competitions.
