Romelu Lukaku set to be fit and return for Everton - Ronald Koeman

Romelu Lukaku is in line to return to the Everton team for Saturday's Premier League trip to Bournemouth.

The striker missed Tuesday's EFL Cup defeat by Norwich with a toe injury but manager Ronald Koeman is optimistic he will be fit.

The Dutchman said: "He did training, separate to the group, today and we expect him to train normally tomorrow morning. If that happens then he is fit for the weekend."

Lukaku's importance to the Toffees was demonstrated against the Canaries, with Everton dominating possession and creating a number of good chances but failing to score.
