Martinez hopeful over Deulofeu and Besic
Everton forward Gerard DeulofeuGerard Deulofeu and Muhamed Besic could return from injury and give Everton a boost against Southampton, says Roberto Martinez.
Roberto Martinez hopes to have Gerard Deulofeu and Muhamed Besic back for Everton's Premier League clash at Southampton this weekend.
The duo both have been sidelined since mid-July and missed Everton's 2-2 draw with Watford on the opening weekend, however Martinez believes they could be available for the trip to St Mary's on Saturday.
Deulofeu was close to a return from a hamstring injury against Watford, but Besic's inclusion was not expected so quickly after the ankle knock he suffered against Swindon Town in preseason.
