The Yak Is Back
Yakubu is set to return to action for Everton's reserves on Tuesday.
The Nigerian striker will line-up against Burnley's second string after recovering from an Achilles injury suffered in November last year.
He has been gradually stepping up his rehabilitation all summer and is now ready for competitive action.
The Yak is joined in a strong Toffees side for the opening game of the campaign by the likes of Iain Turner, Dan Gosling and Jose Baxter, all of whom have senior experience.
New arrival Shkodran Mustafi will also feature, joining Moses Barnett, Shane Duffy and James McCarten in defence.
Lukas Jutkiewicz, James Wallace and Hope Akpan, reserve-team regulars from last term, are also included.
American duo Anton Peterlin and Cody Arnoux are also in the squad along with Kieran Agard, Adam Forshaw and teenage keeper Connor Roberts.
The game against the Clarets kicks off at 7pm on Tuesday at the Stobart Stadium, Widnes.
Entry for Everton Season Ticket holders is free, while entrance for other fans is £4 (adults) and £2 concessions.

James GriffinWelcome bak Yak - we need your strength and finishing up front. Will be good competition for the strikers berth now! COYB!!
Tuesday 25th August 11:05 Report CommentJames WilkinsonYakubu looks as fit as ever, he seems to be slimer, which is good news, bad news for the brunley reserves, hopefully he can feature against sigma or wigan, cant wait, ive waited ages for him and mikel to come back. Also well done everton on signing diniyar, looks like a very good player and can add the creativeness we miss from mikel. FEED THE YAK AND HE WILL SCORE!!!! (Any news on Mikels return?)

Rachel EverblueHello and welome to Everton Football Club my friend Diniyar Bilyaletdinov. I am sure that you will enjoy your stay at Goodison Park and I am happy to say that you will get a great welcome from the Everton Supporters. I hope to that David Moyes signs your Russian friend Vladmir Bystrov and the two of you can be as welcom and as successful as Andrei Kanchelskis was during his time here. You have arrived at the best club in the world and I am sure that Nil Satis Nisi Optimum will become endeered into your heart. I love Russia and have been to Moscow many times. You are from a beautiful city and welcom to another one. Have a great time at Everton my friend. Rachel

Darren HollidayC'MON!! Yakubu had an excellent scoring ratio before his dry spell and injury. He will be vital for our Top 4 push and cup runs. Welcome back, Yak!

Gary WrightLets hope everything goes well and we see him back in the first team ASAP, we need him.
Monday 24th August 22:13 Report CommentRichard StenhouseIts good to hear that the YAK is back! This can only improve the quality of our strike force giving better competition to Jo, Saha, Vaughn and co. In a week that has brought about the sale of Lescott, this is even better news. Personally I can't wait for him to go so we can start spending the money! 24 mil is a good price for him, I say good luck with the misfit team that is Man City. Their over paid pre-madona's who play football not for the love of the game and for a team with prestige but for how much they get paid at the end of the week.

Adrian WelchGreat news as long as moyes doesnt play him up front on his own,he needs a partner up there with him.It could bring the best out of saha partnering him with him.Play him in a 4 4 2 and he will bag us 20 + goals.

lee parkinThis is great news. people seem to forget we have lost our strongest players from each area of the pitch. Jags, arteta, and yak. 442 when yaks back him and saha would be a nightmare for defenders and with the number of defenders needed to mark the pair could open space for fellaini and cahill to score. Can I also say when arteta was injured i thought we lost our most creative player but pienarr as taken that role superbly so thanks stevie p. You and arteta will be able to provide the balls to unlock defences we have been missing

David AtkinsonWelcome back Yak, few new signings and we're right back in it. Bilyaletdinov looks superb and i got a feeling that deal was being done before JL had left for his medical. Your a shrewd cookie Mr Moyes and we should never doubt you. Banega as well or is this just a smoke screen? COYB

Monday 24th August 16:23 Report CommentJohn HauI have to admit is exciting to have three class striker available to us when Yakubu finally return to action, as much excitment I am in at the moment, I feel no matter how many top class striker we have available if we can't feed good ball into them, they can't score no goal, so, until we actually buy a play maker or fast winger, to create some chance for the striker, they won't much used to us, no matter how many we have available?

Real ToffeeThis is the best news i've heard all week! We looked stale at Burnley and were completely turned over. With new signings and players coming back from injury it's time to move up that table! C'mon Blues give something for the fans to cheer about.
