Roma striker Tammy Abraham is at risk of potentially failing his Everton medical due to a previous injury, according to Dr Rajpal Brar.
The injury expert claims that ACL setbacks that involve other structures like the meniscus and MCL, which happened with the former Chelsea striker, can be flagged in pre-transfer checks.

Speaking exclusively to Goodison News, Brar, a specialist in Physical Therapy and Sports Scientist, said about Abraham:
“I’m typically looking around 18 months after injury for a fair assessment of where that player is.
“In his case, that would be around the turn of the year.
“ACL injuries – particularly ones that also involve other structures like the meniscus and MCL – can cause issues with the medical but it all comes down to the full extent of damage and if there’s anything outside the norm.
“Something like abnormally increased cartilage wear and tear is certainly possible.”
