Richarlison return, Man City punishment, injury latest – Everton questions answered

The Liverpool Echo's Chris Beesley answered fan questions covering Everton injury concerns, potential Manchester City sanctions, and a summer pursuit of Richarlison. Beesley reported that a proposed permanent return for Richarlison collapsed because the forward failed to agree on personal terms. Meanwhile, left-back Vitalii Mykolenko remains an injury doubt ahead of the trip to Hull City after missing games for Ukraine.

Beesley also addressed midfield selections and financial rules, arguing Manchester City should face severe relegation to League Two and title strippings if their appeal fails. With Christian Norgaard returning to fitness, Beesley believes youngster Harrison Armstrong currently deserves to retain his starting place in David Moyes' midfield.
