Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti has hinted Andre Gomes will start against Liverpool on Sunday.

The Portuguese international was sidelined for three months after breaking his ankle on November 3, managing to play against Manchester United and Chelsea before the coronavirus pandemic shut down matches.

But Ancelotti says he is ready to go for the Merseyside derby at Goodison.

"Andre Gomes is training with the team so he is not going to have a problem for Sunday," Ancelotti told the club's website.

"The physical condition of the team in general is good and we are looking to recover Yerry Mina and Fabian Delph. Mina has a check on Wednesday, so we will see with him [if he is ready to face Liverpool].

"We have to check on Delph, also. They are both close to coming back to training but remain doubts for the game on Sunday. If they do not play, we hope they will be with us for the match at Norwich, for sure."
