Jackson Tchatchoua’s neck injury was a one off and is unlikely to cause any problems in the future as Everton look to sign him, according to Dr Rajpal Brar.
The injury expert claims that the 22-year-old right-back’s fitness record is excellent and in case of a recurrence of his neck issue, the club will have to bring him back methodically.
This comes after InterLive reported on 16 July that the Cameron international is ready to pack his bags and leave amid interest from the Toffees.
Speaking exclusively to Goodison News, Brar, a specialist in Physical Therapy and Sports Scientist, said about Tchatchoua:
“He had a neck injury last season which kept him out for a few weeks.
“Not much detail was given on it so it’s difficult to say what it is but it was a minor one.
“In terms of avoiding recurrence, that will also depend on the specifics but generally, the keys are sticking to the rehab plan and being brought in methodically.
“Overall, his fitness and availability are excellent so this seems more like a one off than anything else.“
Everton must sign Jackson Tchatchoua this summer
Tchatchoua would be a good signing for the Toffees due to his potential impact and versatility.
At 22, he has shown promise as a right-back in Serie A, contributing defensively as well as showing promise in the final third.
His ability to also play on the wing adds depth to Everton’s squad.
