Everton manager, David Moyes, provided the latest update on Merlin Rohl’s condition after the new midfielder was absent from the squad in the Merseyside Derby against Liverpool on Saturday. Rohl, who was signed from Freiburg, was a major surprise as his name was not included in the list of players announced on Saturday morning. However, David Moyes confirmed that his injury is not serious. Moyes stated, “He only suffered a minor injury in the hip/groin area. I don’t think it’s too serious, but enough to keep him out.” The minor injury is expected not to disrupt Rohl’s adaptation process with his new squad. The 23-year-old player could be an important option for Moyes, as he has the ability to play in several midfield positions. His presence will greatly help Everton, who are currently lacking depth in the midfield. This situation prompted The Toffees to quickly bring in Rohl after failing to sign Tomas Soucek from West Ham at the last moments of the transfer window. Rohl made his debut last week as a substitute against Aston Villa. His transfer is a season-long loan, but Everton has the option of a permanent £18 million purchase if they stay in the Premier League. Moyes has been monitoring Rohl’s talent for a long time. He even tried to recruit the German U-21 national team midfielder since January. Now, the coach hopes Rohl can recover soon to bring a new dimension to Everton’s midfield.
