DINIYAR BILYALETDINOV may have played his last game for Everton after the club failed in their appeal to have his red card at West Bromwich Albion overturned.

Bilyaletdinov was contentiously dismissed by referee Anthony Taylor just five minutes after coming on as substitute in Saturday’s 1-0 defeat following a challenge on Baggies midfielder James Morrison.

Everton were hopeful the Football Association would rescind the sending-off, particularly after Morrison came out in support of Bilyaletdinov.

But it has been confirmed the Russia international will now miss Sunday’s final game of the season at home to Chelsea along with the opening two games of the next campaign.

A statement from Everton read: “The Blues were informed on Tuesday afternoon that referee Anthony Taylor’s decision would be upheld, thus ruling Bilyaletdinov out of Sunday’s Premier League finale against Chelsea, as well as the first two games of next season.

“The appeal was dismissed in spite of Morrison providing a statement in support of the Everton player.”

With Bilyaletdinov one of several Everton players facing an uncertain future this summer, it could be the winger does not turn out for Moyes’s side again.
