Key Everton midfielder is closing in on his long-awaited Everton debut after finally returning to full training following a groin injury.
The Danish midfielder joined Everton from Arsenal during the summer after a successful spell with the Gunners. However, he has been unable to feature for his new club so far, missing the first seven matches of the Premier League season.
Everton provided a positive update on Tuesday, confirming that he has resumed full training as he continues his preparations for his first competitive appearance.
The midfielder’s return will also attract attention from Arsenal, with Everton scheduled to travel to the Emirates later this month.
He could make his first competitive appearance at the Emirates since leaving Arsenal when Everton take on his former club in the Premier League on October 24.
The timing would add an interesting storyline to what could be the midfielder’s first game back after his injury setback.
Tough October Ahead for Everton
Everton face a demanding run of fixtures over the coming weeks.
They are scheduled to travel to Hull City before hosting Chelsea, followed by their trip to Arsenal. They will then conclude the month with a League Cup meeting against Newcastle United.
Despite the challenging schedule, Everton have plenty of reasons for optimism after making an unbeaten start to the campaign.
Norgaard’s return to full fitness could provide another significant boost for David Moyes’ side, particularly given the experience and quality the midfielder brings to the team.
After spending the opening weeks of the season on the sidelines, the summer signing is now edging closer to finally pulling on an Everton shirt in a competitive fixture.
