Republic of Ireland star Seamus Coleman and Kevin Mirallas could be available as Everton prepare to face Tottenham at Goodison Park on Sunday.
Toffees boss David Moyes says forward Mirallas, who has missed four games due to a hamstring injury, and full-back Coleman, sidelined for three by an unspecified problem, have “outside chances” of featuring against Spurs.
Victor Anichebe (hamstring) and Phil Neville (knee) remain on the casualty list.
Provisional squad: Howard, Hibbert, Heitinga, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Naismith, Osman, Gibson, Pienaar, Fellaini, Jelavic, Mucha, Hitzlsperger, Duffy, Oviedo, Barkley, Gueye, Vellios, Mirallas, Coleman.
