Still well short of full fitness

Norgaard remains available for selection but is still some way from regaining full match fitness, with coach David Moyes suggesting the midfielder may not be fully ready until the next international break. "We didn't think he'd be fully-firing until probably the next international break, if we're being honest."

Analysis: Norgaard continues to struggle with his conditioning after recovering from a groin injury that disrupted his preparations for the 2026/27 campaign. The midfielder recently returned to competitive action, but coach Moyes admitted that his latest appearance revealed he was further behind in his recovery than initially anticipated. Having completed just seven days of training with Everton and missed virtually the entire preseason, Norgaard still needs considerable time to rebuild his physical sharpness and match fitness. Moyes also revealed that the midfielder acknowledged his own limitations following his recent involvement, reinforcing the need for a cautious approach to his workload. Although Norgaard remains an option off the bench, a return to the starting lineup appears unlikely in the immediate future. Everton are now targeting the next international break as a more realistic timeframe for the midfielder to regain full fitness and become capable of handling a more substantial role.

Still short of starting fitness

Norgaard is available for Saturday's Premier League clash against Chelsea but remains unlikely to start as he continues to rebuild his match fitness, according to coach David Moyes. "Christian's still got a bit to go. A wee bit to go. I think we could use him at certain times if required, but I don't know if he's ready to start the game yet."

Analysis: Norgaard continues to make progress in his recovery from a groin injury that kept him sidelined for several weeks, although he remains some way from regaining full match fitness. The midfielder recently returned to team training and featured in a behind-closed-doors friendly before becoming available for Sunday's matchup against Hull City. However, coach Moyes has emphasized that Norgaard is not yet ready to handle a significant workload, suggesting another appearance off the bench is more likely against Chelsea. His minutes should gradually increase as he rebuilds his conditioning, but a return to the starting lineup appears premature at this stage. Norgaard nevertheless provides Everton with an additional option in central midfield as he works toward full fitness.
