Gana Update & Everton Team News For Spurs Clash

Idrissa Gana Gueye has a "50-50" chance of being involved in Everton's season finale against Spurs at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Blues head to north London on Sunday (4pm BST kick-off) knowing their opponents require a point to secure their Premier League status for next term. 

Midfielder Gana, who has missed each of the past three games through injury, has resumed individual training at Finch Farm.

Jarrad Branthwaite (hamstring) and Jack Grealish (foot) both remain sidelined.

Speaking in Friday's pre-match press conference at Finch Farm, David Moyes said: "[Gana] has been back on the grass. I'd say there's probably a 50-50 chance he could be involved. We'll know a bit more once we've trained and seen him over the next couple of days.

"He's not trained with the team, at the moment, so that's where we're at with him."

On Grealish and Branthwaite's rehabilitation, Moyes said: "Jarrad is making good progress, which you would expect, and he's moving on. Jarrad has got a programme through the summer.

"We've looked after Jack since his injury and his injury is coming on. He had quite a bad break in his foot, which has been pinned and it's looking in good order now. The surgeon has been speaking very well about it and thinks it's healing greatly. Normally a player would go back to their parent club [when injured] and be looked after from there but we'll continue doing our best for Jack."

Discussing the futures of current players, Moyes revealed the Club is "very close" to sealing a new contract for Vitalii Mykolenko, and, on Gana's situation, the Blues boss said, "We'll make an announcement on that when we're ready to."

On Tyrique George and Grealish – on loan from Chelsea and Manchester City respectively – Moyes added: "We've got two players on loan and, obviously, at the moment, they go back to their clubs and we'll take it from there. As the summer goes on, we'll decide what path we're going to take on both of them.

"We like Tyrique, obviously we like Jack a lot – but we've not got an answer [yet]. 

"We've enjoyed having Tyrique here – he's been an excellent boy and his work-rate and everything has been excellent, so we're happy with him."

The Opposition

Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi will be without Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert, Mohammed Kudus, Dejan Kulusevski, Cristian Romero and Ben Davies for their crucial final-day clash.

Dominic Solanke faces a late fitness check, but Djed Spence is expected to feature despite suffering a facial injury during Tuesday's clash with Chelsea.
