Everton striker Cenk Tosun has had to return to Goodison Park in wake of a knee injury he suffered while out on loan.

In January, Tosun had linked up with Crystal Palace on loan until the end of the season after falling out of favour at Everton.

The Toffees man made five appearances for the Eagles, scoring on his full debut to help secure a 2-2 draw against Manchester City.

However, BBC Sport reports that Tosun has returned to Goodison Park to discover the extent of the injury, which was suffered in training.

There are fears that the 28-year-old could miss the rest of the season, as well as Euro 2020 with Turkey, the outlet has claimed.

Some Palace fans have taken to social media to bemoan Tosun’s injury and potential long layoff – here is some of the reaction on Twitter:

Tosun has made just eight appearances for Everton this season, and only two of those appearances were starts, and he has clocked up a mere 328 minutes of football this term (Transfermarkt).

Nonetheless, the £27million signing (BBC Sport) boasts a decent record elsewhere, with 64 goals in 142 Besiktas appearances, 44 goals in 122 Gaziantepspor appearances, and 16 goals in 42 Turkey appearances (Transfermarkt).
