(Reuters) - Yannick Bolasie may not play for Everton again until the end of 2017, with manager Ronald Koeman confirming that the winger would undergo a second operation on his knee.

The 27-year-old, who joined from Crystal Palace in August for an initial fee of 25 million pounds, played every game for Everton until injuring his anterior cruciate ligament against Manchester United on Dec. 4.
