Hull vs Everton: David Moyes Injury Update And Predicted XI

David Moyes has been speaking to the media ahead of Everton's game against Hull City on Sunday.

The Toffees head into the game refreshed off the back of the international break, although there were some injury concerns during the three-week hiatus.

Vitalii Mykolenko was sent home from international duty by Ukraine after picking up an injury, and Moyes will likely provide an update on his situation during his press conference.

Christian Norgaard returned to training during the international break, while he also featured for Everton in a friendly against Blackburn Rovers.

The only other injury concern was Merlin Rohl, who was injured before the break, but he confirmed a few weeks ago that he should be fit enough for when the Premier League returns.

Speaking to the media, Moyes provided an update on the injury situation of Mykolenko. The Everton manager confirmed that he's got a chance to face Hull on Sunday, while he also adds that the England players, including youth, only returned on Friday.

"He's got a chance for Sunday. The extra day might help. We'll see. We've just got the England players back today. Hopefully they'll all be fit and ready to go."

Moyes also discussed Norgaard, who played in a friendly against Blackburn. Moyes suggests that he's unlikely to be involved if he had it his way, but numbers may push him to at least be included on the bench.

"We had a behind-closed-doors game, and he got the first minutes he's had in a long time. He's making progress. I don't know if he's quite ready yet to be involved. With our numbers being so short, it might be something I have to look at. If I had my way, I'd certainly give him a bit more time."

It looks as though Everton could almost have a fully fit squad for the game against Hull. Mykolenko being fit enough will be crucial for the Toffees, especially with their being no other left-back at the club. 

Pickford; Maitland-Niles, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Garner, Hackney; George, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish; Barry.

As mentioned in our look at Hull City, Hayden Hackney could be key for a game like this. Whether he'll start remains to be seen, but it certainly wouldn't be a surprise given some of his performances so far this season. 

A big call is on the right-hand side. Moyes has Brennan Johnson, Tyrique George, and Tyler Dibling as options there. 

Johnson has struggled so far this campaign, while George and Dibling have looked bright. Dibling is the most natural option of the two, but it could be George in the starting XI.

Mykolenko being fit will be crucial. If he's unavailable, then there could be changes all over the pitch, with James Garner potentially filling in at left-back.
