Everton will be patient with Tyler Onyango as he recovers from groin injury.
The midfielder was involved in the first team in the opening months of the season before suffering the setback.
The Liverpool Echo says Onyango has now begun training 'on the grass' as he targets a playing return.
An England youth international has spent time away on-loan with Burton and Forest Green.
At Everton, management have high hopes for Onyango.
