Everton Team News For Fulham Clash

Jarrad Branthwaite and Jesper Lindstrøm are available for Everton's clash with Fulham on Saturday (5.30pm BST).

The Blues return to Goodison Park this weekend looking to an extend a four-game unbeaten run in the Premier League - but will do so without James Garner and Tim Iroegbunam, who continue to be sidelined with back and foot injuries respectively.

Branthwaite (thigh) and Lindstrøm (illness) are in contention for a place in the matchday squad, though, having missed the 2-0 away victory over Ipswich Town last time out.

Nathan Patterson, who was an unused substitute at Portman Road, has successfully completed another full week of training after overcoming a long-term hamstring injury.

Armando Broja and Youssef Chermiti remain unavailable for the Toffees as they both continue their rehabilitations from foot issues.

Speaking in Thursday's pre-match press conference, Dyche said: "Jarrad has trained all week. I made a call on it last week and decided not to go with him in the squad because I think it was important for him to have a week's training - a clear week's training - which he has done, so, yes, he will certainly be part of the squad.

"Jimmy Garner - we're waiting on more news, just a specialist view on a back injury, so we're waiting on that.

"Broja is getting on the edge of coming into training. He's doing loads of work with the sports science team but not yet. [We will give him a] soft start and see where that goes but hopeful that will continue because he's making good progress.

"Chermiti is making progress but, obviously, it's a very strange injury with the tendon coming off the big toe - a very odd injury. He's beginning to make progress but he's still a number of weeks away, that's for sure."

On Iroegbunam, Dyche added: "We're looking at weeks, certainly weeks, because of the type of injury it is - it's a bone injury. We've just got to wait for it to settle. He's still in a boot at the moment - they don't tend to use casts now, it's a boot that protects it. We're waiting on that to heal then get him back to training but it is going to be a number of weeks still yet."

Fulham will be without Joachim Andersen, who serves a one-match suspension after being sent off against Aston Villa last weekend.

Cottagers boss Marco Silva has also confirmed Sasa Lukic and Timothy Castagne will not be available for their final league trip to Goodison, while Jorge Cuenca and Carlos Vinicius face late fitness checks.
