Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti will have Andre Gomes available to him for their game against Arsenal.
The Portuguese central midfielder has made a remarkable recovery from a dislocated ankle.
Gomes has played behind closed door games and is ready to be part of the squad for their next Premier League clash on Sunday.
"He did well [in the weekend practice match], he played comfortably and without any problems and he is available, in my opinion, to play," Ancelotti told evertontv.
"Of course, I have to speak to him about how he feels after playing his first game following a long time out.
"My personal opinion is he is ready to play.
"When a player has been out for a long period, I think it is better to start the game.
"He can prepare properly, [rather] than to put him on from the bench.
"But I have to speak to him and together we can find a solution."
