Two ready, duo to miss out: Confirmed Everton team news v Southampton
Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed his team news for the upcoming clash against Southampton on Thursday evening.
The Italian has shared that both Theo Walcott and Alex Iwobi are both fit for the game at Goodison Park.
Walcott hasn’t played since the lockdown in the Premier League, with Iwobi recovering after being replaced in the 1-0 defeat against Spurs on Monday.
Ancelotti also confirmed that Fabian Delph and Mason Holgate will miss the game against the in-form Saints with recent injuries.
Djibril Sidibe is ready to feature in the matchday squad again after completing the final 13 minutes in North London.
The Frenchman isn’t yet ready to complete 90 minutes for the Toffees, with Seamus Coleman set to keep his spot again.
Holgate was taken off after 36 minutes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Yerry Mina replacing him in the defeat.
The Colombian international is yet to start a Premier League fixture since the enforced lockdown, with the South American suffering with an injury of his own.
The 25-year-old didn’t look out of place in North London and kept Harry Kane relatively quiet for the hour he was on the pitch.
Mina completed 84% of his passes as well as managing one tackle and winning a couple of aerial battles according to WhoScored – solid.
It will be a massive evening for Mina, with Ancelotti confirming that Holgate should only miss one game, so he will be looking to cement his spot.
