Everton boss Martinez: Jagielka will play again before season end

Everton boss Roberto Martinez says Phil Jagielka will play again this season.

Jagielka is set to return before the end of the season – but is cutting it fine in his Euro 2016 fitness race.

Martinez said: “The only three players we're keeping a close eye on are Seamus Coleman, Gareth Barry and Phil Jagielka.

“Obviously Gerard Deulofeu, I think it will be very difficult to see in any of the final three games.

“We're very confident that Phil Jagielka will be available for the last game of the season.

"Gareth Barry and Seamus Coleman have got an outside chance of being involved at the weekend, but I feel very confident that they will be involved one way or another before the season ends."
