Ross Barkley is set to return to training at Everton on Monday.
The Daily Mail says Barkley is yet to make a competitive appearance for the Toffees so far this season as the 20-year-old was ruled out for up to eight weeks on the eve of the Premier League campaign.
Everton boss Roberto Martinez, who has heaped praise on Barkley, has revealed his star midfielder will return to full training on Monday.
Martinez, speaking to Sky Sports, said: "On Monday we expect Ross, with the green light from the medical department, to join the group.
"Now it's a matter of getting him match fit and getting him up to speed. Ross has been working really well and I don't expect any setbacks. I expect Ross to have a real clear path to get his match fitness back.
"From Monday I want him to be part of it and in probably a couple of weeks we should be able to see Ross in the squad.
"His desire and hunger to be in the team is contagious, and that is something I want to have with the group. He'll be like a fresh, new player for us."
