Everton confirmed yesterday that midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin has undergone surgery on a knee problem.

The French midfielder picked up an injury during Everton’s 3-2 defeat against Arsenal in the last match, and he may not play again this season.

He has suffered a torn meniscus and the club have refused to put a timescale on his potential return. The former Southampton is “set for a period out of the team.”

Schneiderlin has made 18 appearances in all competitions for Everton this season. The injury probably has come at a wrong time as he was playing well under Ancelotti.

Many Everton fans reacted to the news after the club posted an update on their official Twitter handle. Here are some of the selected tweets:

Don't wish an injury on anyone but hopefully we won't see him in an Everton shirt again
