Brendan Galloway recall would suggest Everton boss Sam Allardyce's lack of faith in Luke Garbutt

Luke Garbutt has not featured at all for Everton so far this season.

If Brendan Galloway does return to Everton, as the Chronicle suggests, then it will surely show that Sam Allardyce has no faith in Luke Garbutt.

Garbutt was left out of Everton’s Premier League squad, but is currently their only available senior left-back.

There has been appeals from Everton fans for Garbutt to be given a chance, but if Galloway is brought back to Goodison Park, then his chances at the Toffees will surely be all but over.

Galloway has spent the entire season out on loan at Sunderland so far, and if he was to return and move ahead of Garbutt in the pecking order, it would say a lot about the lack of faith Allardyce has in the 24-year-old defender.

Allardyce has suggested that Garbutt has not even been training with Everton’s first-team, but he will be assessed over the coming weeks.
