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.'
