Everton manager Ronald Koeman has revealed that Yannick Bolasie could be sidelined for up to a year after undergoing surgery on his knee.
The 27-year-old has been sidelined since December 4 after injury his knee during the 1-1 draw with Manchester United at Goodison Park.
Scans confirmed serious damage to the winger's right anterior cruciate ligament, and Bolasie will undergo a second operation on the problem in the coming weeks, which could rule him out until 2018.
"It will be around 11-12 months before he is back. That is a big disappointment but he will come back," Koeman is quoted as saying by BBC Sport.
