Adam Aznou
MLA
Joins Malaga on loan
Aznou completed a season-long loan move from Everton to Malaga on Monday.
Analysis: Aznou was expected to be a depth piece at Everton in the 2026/27 season, but the defender will battle for playing time in Malaga instead. He'll be signed to an Atletico Malagueno deal but is expected to be available for the Malaga first team on a steady basis.
Returns to bench
Aznou (ankle) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Aston Villa.
Analysis: Aznou shook has fully recovered from his ankle injury and returns to the matchday squad Saturday against the Villains after playing 80 minutes with the U21 Everton squad a week ago.
Nearing return with Everton
Aznou (ankle) is nearing a return with Everton but isn't considered match ready yet, coach David Moyes said in the press conference. "Young Adam got a game at Doncaster a week ago, so we're getting him back in and amongst it. So, he's back fit. Is he match ready to play? I'm not 100-per-cent sure."
Analysis: Aznou has featured 80 minutes against Doncaster Rovers last week with the U21 Everton squad working his way back from an ankle injury. That said, he still isn't full ready for a match play for the Toffees and will likely be assessed in the coming days to know if he can be available for upcoming fixtures.
Deals with ankle injury
Aznou is dealing with an ankle injury and has to be monitored, coach David Moyes said in the press conference. "Adam still has a little bit of a problem with his ankle. He's back doing some training but we just need to monitor him and see where he is."
Analysis: Aznou was back in training but is still dealing with an ankle injury that will make him miss Saturday's clash against Wolves. The defender will be monitored and assessed next week to see where he stands. That said, he will likely hold a rotational role once fit, therefore his absence does not impact the starting XI.
