Mina and Delph continue to be sidelined with muscle injuries but are expected to return for next Wednesday’s home game against Leicester City.

Sidibe will miss the Carrow Road clash with a foot problem but Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti says he is hopeful the full-back will return to full training soon.

Theo Walcott is out after undergoing abdominal surgery last week while Jean-Philippe Gbamin is a long-term absentee for Everton having suffered an Achilles injury.

Norwich will be without defenders Grant Hanley, Sam Byram and Christoph Zimmermann for the remainder of the season

Marco Stiepermann is available for the Canaries, however. The midfielder tested positive for coronavirus two weeks ago but remained asymptomatic and has since recorded two negative tests.
