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."
