Everton Football Club have confirmed Landon Donovan’s loan stint is over.

The American international has been a huge success during his stay at Goodison Park, but he has now returned to LA Galaxy after the Toffees failed in an attempt to have his loan extended.

A club statement read: "Landon Donovan has returned to LA Galaxy following his 10-week loan.

"Despite attempts to extend Donovan's loan period at Everton, LA Galaxy have now recalled him to their squad ahead of the start of the MLS season on March 27.

"It is still unclear if the American league will kick off on time as the threat of a players' strike looms following disagreements over the labour contract currently in place."
