With David Unsworth now Everton manager could some of these Under-23s get their first team opportunity?

Until a permanent replacement for the sacked Ronald Koeman is found Under-23s manager David Unsworth will take charge of Everton on an interim basis.
With the likes of Tom Davies and Mason Holgate having made the step up from the academy to become Toffees first team regulars in recent times, here are three other youngsters who could follow in their footsteps.
Matty Foulds of Everton during the NI Super Cup U21 football match against Espanyol.
Matty Foulds
Came through the ranks at Bury before being snapped up by the Merseysiders and has been doing well since the move whether playing in central defence or at left-back.
With changes having occurred in both of those roles at Goodison Park already this season perhaps the 19-year-old Foulds could be looking to make the step up.

Fans have been calling for Kenny to get more regular game time at right-back with Seamus Coleman recovering from a bad leg break and Cuco Martina failing to truly impress since his switch from Southampton.
The 20-year-old has made four senior appearances this term and with Unsworth knowing just what he is capable of maybe this will be the England Under-21 international’s moment.
Bassala Sambou
Signed from Coventry City in the summer of 2016 the striker scored five goals in 10 Premier League 2 outings during his first year at his new club.
Now 20-years-old and with Everton struggling to find decent options upfront, maybe blooding Sambou would not be such a bad idea.
