Everton have received a huge fitness boost ahead of the Merseyside derby with news that Seamus Coleman, Allan and Andre Gomes are ready to face Liverpool.
But the Toffees face a nervous wait on centre-back Yerry Mina who missed Colombia’s draw with Chile due to a thigh injury.
Mina will be assessed on his return to the club’s Finch Farm training base before boss Carlo Ancelotti makes a decision on his team for the weekend.
Coleman was forced off in Everton’s win over Brighton before the international break with a hamstring injury while Allan and Andre Gomes missed the 4-2 victory.
Ancelotti said: “Andre Gomes is available for Saturday, no problem.
“Allan started to train with the team this week. If nothing happens in the next few days he will be available to play against Liverpool.
I think Seamus is going to be good, too, because he started to train with us on Monday.”
Everton may face a worry at centre-back if Mina is not fit with Mason Holgate and Jarrad Branthwaite still not ready to return.
Ancelotti said: “Holgate and Branthwaite are working individually. Branthwaite is closer to returning.
“They have no problems [in their recovery programmes] but we have to wait a little bit.”
The Toffees did bring in Ben Godfrey from Norwich just before the transfer window shut but he has yet to train with his new team-mates as he has been on international duty with England Under-21s.
But he could make his debut against Liverpool on Saturday.
Ancelotti added: “Godfrey is a a really talented player.
“He is really fast, very quick. He has different characteristics from the centre-backs we have in this moment.
He is a complete defender, fast, good with his head and good with the ball. He has all the quality to be a really good centre-back.
“He has experience in the Premier League. He was really happy to come here.
“I think he will be a good signing, not only for the present because I think he is ready to play in the Premier League, but also for the future of the club.
“If he is fit, he is going to be in competition with the others [for the game against Liverpool].”
