Gomes has undergone successful surgery to fix his broken ankle at the Aintree Hospital and he has since been discharged.

Everton said in a statement: “Andre Gomes has now been discharged from hospital and will continue his rehabilitation under the care of the Everton medical team.”

Although it is still unclear as to how long he will be sidelined for, the club have tweeted he is set to make a ‘full recovery’.

The Everton star’s leg was shown to have been protruding from his skin in horrific scenes.

Similar players to have suffered those kind of injuries include Arsenal duo Aaron Ramsey and Eduardo.

Ramsey was sidelined for nine months, after his tibia and fibula was shattered in 2010, before needing time in the Championship to get back to his best.

As for Eduardo, the Brazilian-born Croat also had an ankle dislocation in 2008, returning to action almost a year later.
