James Garner - Could return Sunday Garner (back) might be available for the squad versus Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
Impact Garner is expected to play in a closed-dorr match during the week, which effectively rules him out versus Arsenal on Wednesday. Even if the midfielder does rejoin the squad Sunday, he will be hard-pressed to break into the starting XI, especially with the re-emergence of Abdoulaye Doucoure under new manager Sean Dyche.

Nathan Patterson - Targeting early March return Patterson (knee) is expected to rejoin training in early March but won't be ready in time for Wednesday's clash with Arsenal.
Impact Patterson was the preferred choice of left-back prior to his injury absence but with veteran Seamus Coleman enjoying a resurgence under new manager Sean Dyche, Patterson may have to work his way back into the starting XI. If he does retake his place on the pitch, Patterson should offer decent fantasy production given his ability to push the attack from the backline.
FEBRUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Unavailable versus Gunners Calvert-Lewin (hamstring) will not be in the squad to face Arsenal on Wednesday.
Impact Calvert-Lewin remains without a clear timeline to rejoin the squad, which certainly raises doubts regarding his availability versus Nottingham Forest on Sunday given the quick turnaround. With the forward's continued absence, Neal Maupay should be in line to feature in the starting XI, though Ellis Simms could also be in contention.

Jordan Pickford - Signs new Everton contract Pickford signed a new four-and-a-half-year contract with Everton, keeping him at the club until 2027.
Impact It's a big contract for Pickford and it's a warranted one, as he's barely missed any matches since joining Everton ahead of the 2017/18 campaign. He's struggled for clean sheets the last two seasons, as Everton have struggled in general, but that also means he's as important as ever, making 79 saves in 22 starts of the current season.

Nathan Patterson - Closer to return Patterson (knee) is getting closer to a return to the squad but is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Aston Villa.
Impact Patterson has suffered from injuries all season that will see him miss his 11th match of the year. He has only been able to produce 39 tackles (17 won) and 27 clearances in 13 appearances. Seamus Coleman will start Saturday, who recorded a goal in the last match against Leeds.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Remains sidelined Calvert-Lewin (hamstring) will sit out Saturday's match versus Aston Villa, "I think he's building up well. He's on the grass - he's not with us [in full training] yet but that wil...
Impact Calvert-Lewin is continuing to recover from a hamstring injury, but will now miss his third match in a row. Neal Maupay will likely take his place again until he returns. The forward has struggled to get goals in of late, failing to record one in his previous five matches played with nine shots (two on target) in that span.
FEBRUARY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Amadou Onana - Good to go Saturday Onana (knee) is available for Saturday's match against Aston Villa.
