The former England international is back available for Everton.
Everton face Bournemouth away tomorrow afternoon, with Sam Allardyce’s side having been given a major boost by the return to action of Wayne Rooney.
Rooney has missed Everton’s past two games through illness, and his side struggled in a creative sense without him as they drew 0-0 with both Chelsea and West Bromwich Albion.
Everton’s leading scorer so far this season with ten goals in all competitions, Rooney has enjoyed something of a renaissance, especially since the appointment of Sam Allardyce as manager.
Allardyce will be delighted to have Rooney back available and it seems very likely that the 32-year-old will go straight into the starting lineup against Bournemouth.
In addition to his goalscoring exploits, Rooney also has an important part to play for Everton in terms of setting the tempo of games with his passes.
Rooney’s experience is a major asset for Everton and could be crucial in helping them to return to winning ways.
After going two games without a goal, Everton will be especially determined to find the net tomorrow, and it would come as no surprise if Rooney was the player to end their drought.
