Everton forward Cenk Tosun has struggled for Goodison Park so far this campaign.

Marco Silva has confirmed to the Liverpool Echo that he left Cenk Tosun out of his side due to a ‘technical decision’.

Tosun was not even on the bench for Everton during their match against Burnley yesterday, with the striker completely overlooked.

And the Turkish international was fit to play, Silva confirmed after Everton’s win at Turf Moor.

Silva said that Tosun had been left out due to a ‘technical decision’, which surely raises further questions over the striker’s future at Goodison Park.

Everton have generally played with Dominic Calvert-Lewin leading the line in recent times, but Richarlison has also been used in a central role this season.

Tosun just doesn’t seem to be anywhere near Silva’s starting plans, as his goalscoring form has been poor throughout the campaign so far.

And Tosun’s latest omission looks like terrible news for the Everton striker, who could now be moved on in January.

In Tosun’s absence, Everton won 5-1 at Turf Moor, and they put in one of their best performances of the season.
