Everton fans have reacted furiously to the news that Everton midfielder Fabian Delph could be set for a spell on the sidelines after injuring his hamstring, as told by The Liverpool Echo.

It further cranks up the worries for the Toffees in their early struggles this season, as the club sits inside the relegation zone on just seven points from eight games.

As a result, the pressure seems to be continuously mounting on Marco Silva and injuries to key players such as Delph are only going to make things tougher for the Portuguese.

The former Aston Villa man has fitted in well at Goodison Park so far, proving to be a worthy addition from Manchester City. Delph has averaged 2.8 tackles in the centre of the pitch per Premier League game, whilst averaging an impressive 5.2 long balls each fixture as well. The Englishman has also averaged 59.9 passes per league match - more than other regular midfielders such as Andre Gomes, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Morgan Schneiderlin.

However, what seems to be irritating the Everton fans more than anything is the fact his absence will keep Schneiderlin in the side for much longer. The Frenchman has had a torrid time this season and has put in displays that have produced ratings of 4/10, 5/10 and 4/10 from The Liverpool Echo in the Toffees' last three matches - all of which have ended in defeat.
