Everton should have Lucas Digne back when they face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Digne missed the defeat at Arsenal and the 1-1 draw against Manchester United with a calf injury. After managing individual sessions last week he has now resumed full training and is in contention to return to the starting line up.
Djibril Sidibe hasn't been ruled out either despite picking up an injury late on against United, but Seamus Coleman is likely to miss out with the muscle problem that forced him off in the same game.

Chelsea are unbeaten in 24 home Premier League games against Everton with the Blues winning six of the last eight matches at Stamford Bridge.
The Toffees run of 24 games without a win is their longest away at another club in the Premier League. Only against Leeds (35) have had a longer away run without a win in top-flight history.
The last occasion Everton came away from the Bridge with a league win was in November 1994, when Glenn Hoddle was in charge of Chelsea, on the day the new Matthew Harding Stand was opened for the first time. Paul Rideout notched the only goal for the Toffees who were in the bottom three at the time.
Only one team has ever had a longer winless away run against an opponent in Premier League history than Everton’s current 24 against Chelsea – Tottenham went 25 away games without a win at Stamford Bridge between 1993 and 2016.
Biggest league win for each team Everton 6-0 Chelsea - 1977/78 Chelsea 6-0 Everton - 1948/49
Everton’s biggest win at Stamford Bridge is 3-1 in 1912/13

Carlo Ancelotti has revealed Seamus Coleman will miss Everton's next two matches through injury.
The right-back was substituted in the first half of Everton's 1-1 draw with Manchester United on Sunday, with on-loan Monaco man Djibril Sidibe stepping in to replace the Republic of Ireland international for the remainder of the match.
And the manager has now confirmed the club captain will not only miss this weekend's trip to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea, but also the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park a week later.
He said: "Seamus Coleman is not available, he had a muscle problem against Manchester United. He will be out at least for two games, and then we will see.
"We have Cenk Tosun who came back from Crystal Palace who will have surgery next week, but the others are in good condition. Lucas Digne is good."
