 Welcome to ToffyTV, this is the Everton News Daily, Carlo Ancelotti's held his press conference ahead of Monday night's key game against Brighton at the Amax Arena and said it's a big game because it's a big fight for the European positions and we are there. For us the game is vital to try and reach the target of Europe. So Carlo Ancelotti, not obviously throwing in the towel when it comes to Europe and really why should we've got nine games left and if Everton can get three points at Brighton it keeps us very much in the hunt with big games against Spares and Arsenal and Westam to come. Obviously we're also in and around those places so a really important game for Everton on Monday night. He spoke about the injuries as well. He said Jordan Pickford is not 100% fit so I'll have to wait and see whether he reclaims the goalkeeping jersey on Monday night. He said there'll be no Gomez, he has got a little injury and he won't miss the game but Alan has trained and will be checked ahead of the game so that'll be fantastic news for him and Alex Awobi is also available for the game. He spoke about Adelaide Decore and said that he's had a scan and everything has gone well. The player tweeted as well saying that he hopes to be back this season. Carlo Ancelotti said there'll be another scan in three weeks and if everything looks good he will start training so the prospect is we can maybe get him back for the last maybe four games, four or five games depending on obviously when that Aston Villa game is that we've got in hand so that'll be fantastic if we could get him back in the side for the last few games. Hopefully there'll be something to play for in those games as well because obviously he's a key player and he has been missed massively so it's really good news on that front of player I think we all thought was going to miss the rest of the season. He also spoke about Jean-Philippe Gabamini said he can play he said no problem about that he said he's training well but he's not up to the intensity of the Premier League. He said we have to take care of him and obviously he will make the decision with the medical team of you know at what stage he will start a game or how many minutes he can play during the game but it's good that it seems that so far he's you know not suffered the reaction you sometimes you find that when players come back from long-term injuries and they do get on the pitch they either suffer from stiffness or they suffer from little injuries that they just tend to pick up but I always only on the field for for 15 minutes but it's good that he's trained well this week and hopefully over the next coming weeks we see a little bit more of him gradually game by game and it put us in good in a good position for next season rather than anything this season for a fit and fire and Jean-Philippe Gabamini who will obviously be a massive asset to have him with the injuries we've had this season certainly midfield but remembering why we bought him as well and the things he could bring to the seven team hopefully we see a little bit of that this season and we see more of that next season. The manager spoke about Hamas Rodriguez as well he said he's fit he said we have we create more opportunities because of his quality he said key passes final passes and the final shot he says we signed them for that reason so he said he's sharp and he can be a big part of helping ever get those wins in need for a European place let's let's hope so and obviously Hamas Rodriguez was fantastic in the Crystal Palace game obviously scored in the goals but you know helping create chances open Crystal Palace up and obviously we hope to see more of that on Monday night against Brighton he really is the player who can make chances for Dominic Carmeloun and Rich Arleson it's up to those two players to then take them isn't it. The manager spoke about Josh King as well he said that he's been training well but he's he only missed out because of a changing formation due to the injuries in midfield and again his future has been talked about this week we talked about it yesterday saying that Celtic have been linked with me if Eddie Howe takes over the job there it's going to be interesting he really hasn't had any chances to succeed at Everton so far obviously hasn't scored the goal yet but that's not really as felt he hasn't really got many minutes sitting hasn't started the game after waiting to see whether that changes over the the coming weeks and months or a couple of months so yeah we'll have to wait and see so good news hopefully may have Jordan Pickford back should have Allen back Hamas Rodriguez is fitting rearing to go so hopefully that fingers crossed hopefully Monday we get a good result against Brighton and Hoverhagen there you go let me know let us know your thoughts in the comments don't forget make sure you check out our match preview for the game our toffee picks video as well if you haven't signed up for toffee picks or you haven't done this week please do if you need to know more about that watch the toffee picks video we've done you just pick 12 questions answers for 12 questions and you can win £250 there's a prize pot of £500 it's completely free T's and C's apply play response where you must be over 18 it's free why not go and check that out there'll be a link on the screen to the video right now so make sure to check that out as well as giving this channel a subscribe and also if you want more videos daily live videos join us over on patreon link is in the description and on the screen now thanks for watching see you later
