Fabian Delph and Bernard are both unlikely to return to action in Saturday’s home game against Norwich.
Delph has been sidelined due to a hamstring strain and forward Bernard has been out since sustaining a knee injury in last month’s defeat at Brighton.
Striker Cenk Tosun is expected to recover in time from a groin strain, while Andre Gomes (fractured/dislocated ankle) and Jean-Philippe Gbamin (thigh) remain long-term absentees.
Bottom club Norwich could be boosted by the return of defender Christoph Zimmermann from the foot injury which has ruled him out since the end of August.
Full-back Jamal Lewis is sidelined by the knee problem which forced an early return from international duty with Northern Ireland, but midfielder Kenny McLean should be available along with Finland striker Teemu Pukki.
Swiss forward Josip Drmic faces up to six weeks out with a hamstring tear picked up against Watford, while centre-backs Grant Hanley (groin) and centre-back Timm Klose (knee) continue their own rehabilitation.
Everton provisional squad: Pickford, Mina, Holgate, Digne, Sidibe, Richarlison, Davies, Schneiderlin, Walcott, Sigurdsson, Tosun, Lossl, Keane, Baines, Coleman, Kean, Iwobi, Calvert-Lewin.

Marco Silva has selected an unchanged team for Everton's Premier League clash with Norwich City on Saturday.
Everton are back in action a fortnight after winning 2-1 at Southampton, where Richarlison bagged his fifth goal of the season.
The Brazilian has twice featured for his country in the meantime and returns to play wide on the left, with Theo Walcott continuing on Everton's right flank.
That pair sandwich Gylfi Sigurdsson, captaining the Blues and operating directly behind striker Cenk Tosun.
Tom Davies was Everton's other goalscorer against Southampton and the 21-year-old begins his fifth successive Premier League match. He is partnered in midfield by Morgan Schneiderlin.
Yerry Mina and Mason Holgate play together in the middle of Everton's defence for the third League game on the spin.
France international duo Djibril Sidibe and Lucas Digne are employed in the Blues' full-back positions and for the 89th Premier League fixture in a row Jordan Pickford is Everton's goalkeeper.
Moise Kean, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Alex Iwobi are all named on the bench.
Manager Silva has also named the quartet of Seamus Coleman, Michael Keane, Beni Baningime and goalkeeper Jonas Lossl among his substitutes.

Players All Deserved To Stay In The Team, Says Silva
Marco Silva has explained his decision to stick with the same team for the visit of the Canaries.
"It's never an easy decision when you have competition like we do," said the Blues boss in his pre-match interview.
"But we are coming from a really important win and the players deserve to stay in the team.
"We did not have long to prepare for the game because after that win 70 per cent of the players were away with their national teams.
"It was one solution to keep the same team that did well.
"But we have competition and other solutions, so it is never easy."
