Everton suffer 'huge blow' over £10k-a-week star before Tottenham

Everton being without Anthony Gordon for the trip to Tottenham on Saturday is a “huge blow”, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.

He could switch the formation and bring Salomon Rondon into the team, although that would appear quite unlikely considering the ex-West Brom and Newcastle man has started just once all season.

Therefore, the likeliest replacement would be Dwight McNeil, who
