Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure is making positive progress from his groin injury.
The Frenchman has missed each of the Blues' matches under Frank Lampard so far after sustaining a groin injury in the 1-0 loss to Aston Villa at Goodison Park last month.
However, it seems that the 29-year-old is continuing to edge closer to a return.
The message from the club read: "Abdoulaye Doucoure joined in the warm-up part of today's training session as he continues to make positive progress from his groin injury."
