Rarely-seen Everton midfielder confirms he’s back from injury after loan termination

Lewis Warrington has taken to social media after making his return to action for Everton Under-21s on Monday (19 February).

The youngster returned to Goodison Park last month after featuring only four times on loan for Plymouth Argyle in the first half of the campaign.

Warrington was named in the starting XI as Everton’s age-grade side lost 2-1 to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League 2 contest.

In a post on his Instagram story on Tuesday (20 February), Warrington said: “Great feeling being back out there”

Plymouth Argyle loan spell cut short

Warrington is highly thought of at Finch Farm, but his time on loan at Plymouth did not pan out the way he would have wanted.

The 21-year-old sustained an injury and returned to Merseyside a little over a month ago to begin his rehabilitation.

It may have been a disappointing development, but all the 21-year-old can do is get his head down and show what he is capable of.

Whatever the injury was, it was clearly not too serious. Warrington will be grateful to have got some minutes under his belt for the Under-23s.

The midfielder is likely to continue featuring in Premier League 2 for the rest of the season before a decision is made on his future in the summer.

Another spell out on loan next season looks the best bet, but for now he will work on returning to peak fitness after that recent setback.
