Ruled out of season opener
Iroegbunam (groin) is out for Saturday's season opener against Crystal Palace with an adductor strain, according to coach David Moyes. "Iroegbunam has an adductor strain, so won't make it tomorrow."
Analysis: Iroegbunam's fitness issue comes at a complicated moment given his transfer to Hull City had already reportedly been thrown into doubt by the same injury, with Hull manager Sergej Jakirovic previously suggesting a recovery timeline of at least six weeks. His continued absence from Everton's squad now confirms he remains unavailable, leaving both his club future and his path back to matchday action to be sorted out over the coming weeks.
Move to Hull in doubt after injury
Iroegbunam's move to Hull City is in doubt after suffering an adductor injury, according to Hull manager Sergej Jakirovic, per BBC. "We agreed everything between Everton and the player, but in the last game he got an abductor injury. It's a minimum of six weeks so I don't know. Maybe, we will take another player because we need players right now. We don't have time."
Analysis: Iroegbunam's setback comes just as the terms of the move had reportedly been finalized between the two clubs, leaving Hull now weighing alternative options given the timing of the transfer window. Jakirovic made clear the club cannot afford to wait around given their immediate need for reinforcements in midfield. Iroegbunam is expected to be sidelined for at least six weeks with Everton in the meantime, a timeline that puts the move in genuine jeopardy. His situation remains one to track as Hull continue exploring other targets at the same time as pursuing right backs and a striker.
