Crystal Palace game comes too soon for Leighton Baines
Posted Saturday, February 10, 2018 by PA
Everton left-back Leighton Baines is edging closer to a return to training but he will not be available for Saturday’s visit of Crystal Palace.
The defender has been out since late November with a calf injury but is likely to be in contention for next week’s trip to Watford.
Goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg is training again after a groin problem, which has sidelined him since September, while defender Ramiro Funes Mori completed 45 minutes for the under-23s as he continues his comeback from knee surgery.
Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha was ruled out for a month with a knee injury ahead of the trip.
Goalkeeper Julian Speroni (knee) and defender Martin Kelly (hamstring) are also missing, joining Bakary Sako, Jeffrey Schlupp, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Scott Dann, Jason Puncheon and Connor Wickham on a lengthy injury list.
January signings Alexander Sorloth and Erdal Rakip will be in the squad.
