Silva Gives Merseyside Derby Team News Update

Theo Walcott has shaken off the illness that forced him to miss Everton's game against Leicester City and will be available for Wednesday's Merseyside derby at Anfield.

Seamus Coleman (rib) and Fabian Delph (hamstring) remain major doubts for the clash however, with neither having returned to full training at USM Finch Farm.

Like Walcott, Coleman sat out last Sunday's trip to the King Power Stadium, while Delph hasn't featured since the 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur in early November.

"Theo will be okay for tomorrow," said Everton manager Marco Silva at his pre-match press conference on Tuesday. "He was sick but he's worked the last two sessions with the team and he will be in the [right] conditions to be in the squad list.
