Kone to return to Everton line-up for West Ham clash

Everton boss Roberto Martinez suggests that Arouna Kone should be fit for the weekend's trip to West Ham United.

The Ivory Coast striker was unable to take part in the Toffees' 1-0 home win over Chelsea on the weekend because of a knee injury but is likely to be back in action when the Merseysiders head to East London.

"He should have a very good opportunity to be involved on Saturday," Martinez told evertontv.

"He has still got a bit of bruising in his bone - he got a knock in training - but we hope over the next 48 hours he will be available to be with the side."
