Everton boss Marco Silva says Bernard is ready to start against Arsenal today.
The little Brazilian joined Everton on a free transfer in the summer but has yet to start a game for the Blues.
“Bernard can help with everything we need," Silva said. “He is ready to give 100 per cent, even if he is not yet in his best physical condition, which is normal because he did not play since last March.
“In his first 50 minutes he did well [against the Hammers], he had a good impact in a difficult moment in the match.
“He is a different profile from the other wingers in our squad. A quality player and he will help us. If I need 90, he is ready for what I need."
