Fit-Again Walsh Back In Winning Routine
Everton Under-23s had been confirmed as the Premier League Two champions with one game to go against Liverpool at Goodison Park.
It was an occasion that Liam Walsh was looking forward to and after that coronation fixture he was going to be a part of the England Under-20 team heading to South Korea for the World Cup.
NAME: Liam Walsh
POSITION: Midfield
PREVIOUS CLUB: Yeovil Town (loan)
DATE OF BIRTH: 15 September 1997
PLACE OF BIRTH: Huyton
CONTRACTED UNTIL: June 2O19
Then, after a few weeks off, he would be ready to force his way into Ronald Koeman’s first-team thinking.
“That was the plan before I had the setback but I am not going to try to dwell on that too much,” he reflected.
A fractured foot demolished his summer and only now is he heading back to full match fitness. Walsh played 62 minutes of the narrow defeat against Leicester City and then a full 90 at Chelsea, where Everton won 3-0 despite the hosts calling upon the services of Eden Hazard.
