Your support makes all the difference.Everton manager Marco Silva has warned goalkeeper Jordan Pickford about his ”duties and obligations” after being caught up in a disturbance in Sunderland at the weekend.
The England number one appeared to be involved in a fracas in the early hours of Monday morning and the Portuguese manager is “not happy” about it.
Northumbria Police and Everton are investigating the incident, and Toffees boss Silva insists it will not happen again.
“If you ask me as a manager I am not happy with what happened,” Silva said.
“Everything we must do we already did. It is my expectation it won’t happen again.
“Football players have duties and obligations. It is a matter for us to remind him and everything we must do we already did.
“The first chat of the week I was clear with him. Everything is clear in his mind about his obligations.
“It is my expectation it won’t happen again. No one is happy with the situation, it was not a good thing. The matter is finished in this moment.”
