On November 3, 2019, Everton midfielder Andre Gomes suffered a gruesome ankle injury during a match against Tottenham at Goodison Park.
According to Everton, Gomes will undergo surgery on Monday, November 4, 2019, after sustaining an ankle injury in the game.
The Portugal international was tackled by Son Heung-min, who was sent off, before landing awkwardly and falling into Serge Aurier.
Everton boss Marco Silva praised his players for their response to the sickening setback, saying, "Our players now, they are sad, a tough moment for us in our dressing room and for Andre, but the spirit we showed after that moment on the pitch I think is a good answer for you."
"He is seriously injured but I am 100 per cent sure Andre will become stronger as a football player and as a man because he is a fantastic lad, a fantastic professional," Silva added.
Everton's Cenk Tosun equalised in the game, but the injury overshadowed the match.
"Everybody is sad inside. Some players, they nearly cried," Tosun said, describing the scene after Gomes' injury.
