Fears of Sean Dyche came true as an Everton star will miss the Premier League game against Ipswich Town.

Iliman Ndiaye is set to miss Everton’s game against Ipswich Town because he got hurt while playing for his country. This is exactly what Sean Dyche was afraid would happen.

After a rough start to the season, the Blues know that anything less than three points won’t do when they go to Portman Road on Saturday, October 19.

Senegal confirmed that forward Ndiaye missed the last training session because he was on international business and is unlikely to play against Malawi. This means Dyche may have to take his team to Ipswich without Ndiaye.

The last thing Dyche would have wanted is for one of his usual starters to get hurt and not be able to play in the trip to Suffolk.

Everton needs to find a way to beat Ipswich Town in a game they have to win.

New video of Ndiaye going off the field for Senegal with an injury looked like good news, but now things have gone from bad to worse, and Everton will likely have to play a must-win Premier League game without one of their star players.

Even though it’s still early in the season, the game at Ipswich could have big effects on the fight for survival at the end of the season, since both teams are likely to be in or near the bottom three by May.

It’s still unclear if Dyche will stay in charge at Goodison Park this season, as rumors about possible replacements are always going around. The only thing the Toffees manager can do is keep making things better on the field.

In their last three Premier League games, Everton has had two draws and a very important win against Crystal Palace. However, their qualifications will be put to the test at Portman Road.

The team led by Kieran McKenna has been tough to beat at home, but Everton hasn’t won three points away from home this season, so it won’t be easy.

This season, Dwight McNeil will need to keep up his great play, but Jack Harrison hasn’t impressed and Jesper Lindstrom hasn’t shown any of the form he did at Eintracht Frankfurt. If Ndiaye comes back to Goodison Park injured, Dyche will have a tough choice to make about who to play.

But Dyche needs to find a way to show potential owner Dan Friedkin that he can bring a new era to the Blues. This is the last thing that Everton needs right now.

In other Everton news, new information about the Blues’ shareholder loans shows that compensation claims are likely.
