Everton manager Benitez delivers Digne update after latest axe

Everton manager Rafa Benitez has provided an update on Lucas Digne's status.

The French left-back was left out of the matchday squad for the second straight match as Everton went down to Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Digne also missed last week's win over Arsenal, after which it emerged that he had a disagreement with Benitez prior to the match.

Asked about Digne before the loss to Palace, Benitez hinted there could be a way for him to get back into the squad.

Benitez told Sky Sports: "He's (Digne) training well and he will have chances if he keeps training in the same way."
