David Moyes has confirmed Everton have no new injury concerns ahead of Tuesday's Premier League clash at Bournemouth (7.30pm GMT).

The Blues travel to the south coast looking to bounce back from Saturday's home defeat to Newcastle, with Seamus Coleman (hamstring), Merlin Röhl (hernia), Jarrad Branthwaite (hamstring) and Nathan Patterson (foot/hernia) still sidelined.

Meanwhile, Idrissa Gana Gueye serves the second game of his three-match ban following the midfielder's sending off in the 1-0 victory at Manchester United.

Asked about squad availability for the Vitality Stadium encounter, Moyes revealed a couple of his players faced Newcastle with minor niggles, but there were no fresh issues for Tuesday night.

"We're looking okay," said the Blues boss. "But we went into Newcastle carrying a couple of boys with injuries from the game in midweek. They played. Possibly, on another day, if we'd have had other players available, we might have altered that. But no excuses from that point of view.

"We had a brilliant win on Monday night [at Manchester United]. We probably went into Saturday still carrying a bit into the game, as well. We were still carrying a couple of small injuries."

On his four injured players, Moyes added: "None of them are available for the game. We're missing Merlin at the moment, the extra midfield player. Seamus would have given us extra cover at right-back and, with Jarrad out, we're limited at what we have available at centre-back as well."

For Bournemouth, Andoni Iraola saw three of his players pick up cards at Sunderland on Saturday that rules them out of tomorrow's match at the Vitality Stadium.

Lewis Cook was dismissed for a straight red card for violent conduct, while Marcos Senesi and David Brooks were both booked for the fifth time this season so will serve one-match bans.

Ben Gannon-Doak (hamstring) and Ryan Christie (knee) are sidelined and unlikely to return before Christmas, but Antoine Semenyo and Justin Kluivert both made their return from respective injuries in Saturday's 3-2 loss and are likely to feature against the Blues.
