Evertons #25m summertime signing Jean-Philippe Gbamin has been ruled out before January following surgery on a thigh injury.
Gbamin, 24, has been out of action since August.
The Ivorian guessed as a substitute against Crystal Palace about the Premier Leagues coming weekend, then started the win against Watford on 17 August.
Seven days later but he broke down in training ahead of the defeat at Aston Villa.
The midfielder, signed from Mainz on 2 August, was again back in light training until Evertons last league match, has had an operation in France and a 1-0 defeat at Burnley on 5 October, but suffered yet another blow.
Its a considerable drawback for Everton manager Marco Silva in addition to the Ivory Coast international, whod been brought in to fill the gap.
There were fears at Everton which Gbamin would need surgery when he originally suffered the injury but the team had expected itd be prevented.
