Caretaker boss David Unsworth said that the 28-year-old, who trained with Everton's under-23 side last week before joining the first team, was in line for a return in the New Year.

Everton are 16th in the table with 12 points after three wins, three draws and six defeats and travel to 14th-placed Southampton on Sunday.
