David Moyes calls for fan support ahead of Everton's clash with Chelsea

Everton manager David Moyes has issued a call for support to the club's fans ahead of their seventh-round Premier League match against Chelsea. The manager emphasized the importance of a strong atmosphere during the early kick-off.

Moyes reflected on the frustration following the game against Hull City, where a disallowed goal by Brennan Johnson due to a controversial VAR decision cost the team points. The manager admitted he still finds the concept of "subjective offside" difficult to accept.

Regarding the squad, Moyes confirmed that Christian Nørgaard has returned to training and featured in a behind-closed-doors friendly during the international break. However, he provided a negative update on Vitaliy Mykolenko, who remains sidelined with an injury, though the club hopes for a quick recovery.

Addressing the ongoing headlines surrounding the potential sale of the club, Moyes reassured supporters that it remains business as usual for the staff and players. "We will continue to work with maximum effort, and no off-field events will distract us from our main goal: winning football matches," he stated.

The match between Everton and Chelsea is scheduled for October 17 at 14:30. The fixture will also highlight the "No Room For Racism" campaign.
