Over the past few days, we’ve covered Everton’s Henry Onyekuru’s comeback at Anderlecht in great detail, mostly because the Belgian press have too, and there’s a bit of excitement about it.
With just a few games left in the Belgian club’s season, and the Nigerian forward back from injury and ready to play after featuring for the reserves on Tuesday evening, Hein Vanhaezebrouck has a bit of a problem ahead of him: where does he play him?
Starring on the left-hand side previously, the 21-year-old has seen Kenny Saief step in and make that role his own in his absence.
The Everton loanee’s best bet, it seems, is taking Lazar Markovic’s, his Liverpool counterpart, role playing just off the striker.
The Serbian hasn’t exactly set the world alight since his arrival, struggling with fitness issues as soon as he arrived, and DH, who look into this in detail, see this as his most likely chance of getting regular game time ahead of the World Cup.
While Onyekuru can also play up front, he would only be used there to offer something different to the team should Lukasz Teodorzcyk have a bad game.
Anderlecht play Charleroi this weekend, and there’s a good chance the Everton forward could feature, most likely coming off the bench.
If you’ve got better nothing to do at 5pm on Sunday, it might be worth tuning in (somehow) to see how the Toffees youngster fares.
