The Toffees face Bournemouth on Saturday at the Vitality Stadium.
Everton have received a big boost ahead of their Premier League clash against Bournemouth after summer signing Andre Gomes was pictured in training at Finch Farm on Thursday.
The Toffees travel to the Vitality Stadium for Saturday’s clash, as they look to remain unbeaten after beating Southampton at Goodison Park and drawing 2-2 with newly-promoted Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Summer signing and Barcelona loanee Gomes could be a part of that, as he looks to return ahead of schedule and play for the Toffees before the international break.
Portugal international Gomes was pictured in training by Everton’s official Twitter account, as Marco Silva prepares his side to face Eddie Howe’s in-form Cherries who have won their opening two Premier League matches.
Gomes is yet to feature for Everton after joining the club on deadline day along with Barcelona teammate Yerry Mina, after confirming to fans on Twitter a fortnight ago that he would be out for three weeks.
That meant he could be sidelined until Everton’s clash against West Ham on September 16, with Everton playing Bournemouth, Rotherham and Huddersfield prior to the break.
Indeed, Gomes was expected to be sidelined for those matches as he continues to recover from the hamstring injury he suffered playing for Barcelona in a pre-season friendly against Tottenham – but now he may be available.
