RICHARLISON has continued making friends at Everton, following up his goalscoring debut by visiting a fan who was injured in the celebrations.

The Brazilian arrived at Goodison Park this summer in an eyebrow-raising £40 million deal from Watford and hit the ground running with a brace against Wolves on Saturday.

Toffees fans would have been delighted by his instant impact in the Premier League opener but one, Neil Harrison, was left with a dislocated elbow after celebrating at Molineux.

Everton posted a clip of Richarlison surprising the patient in hospital, presenting him with a shirt and signing his plaster cast with a good luck message.

Harrison posted a picture of the pair on his Twitter account, declaring the playmaker was "worth every single Penny".

SunSport reported yesterday that Richarlison is expected to be fit for Saturday's clash against Southampton following his own injury scare.

The 21-year-old netted twice on his debut for the Toffees against the newly-promoted side, but limped off during the second half at Molineux.

It was believed that the Brazilian forward tweaked his calf muscle, but Everton are hopeful he can feature next weekend.

The ex-Watford ace was assessed by medical staff today, with cramp being the verdict.

He is set to return to full training on Wednesday, and could now start against the Saints at Goodison Park.

Richarlison twice put Marco Silva's side in front against Wolves - first scrambling home an effort from close range - before expertly curling home into the far corner.
