James Tarkowski Injury: Way ahead of schedule

Tarkowski (hamstring) is expected to make a return at some point during preseason for Everton. According to manager David Moyes, "I think he's been out for about 12 weeks now and we think it should be about 14 weeks but he's way ahead of schedule. I'm hoping maybe I might get Tarky around the next two games, but if I was going to get him I think it's more likely to be the last game" per Chris Beesley of the Echo.

Tarkowski went down late last season with a serious hamstring injury He is ahead of schedule for his return, with a chance to be fit for the start of the PL, as long as everything goes well. With Everton participating in the preseason tournament in the U.S, there is a chance the defender could make an appearance before the start of the season on Aug 18.
