Impact Calvert-Lewin looks to be very likely to retake the field Saturday, having cleared the illness that held him out earlier this week. He should be expected to return to the starting XI, as he is a regular starter when fit. He will hope to keep the injury concerns behind him once returning, as his complications have limited him heavily each of the past couple of seasons.

Impact Tarkowski is in search of a return after missing the midweek Carabao Cup match due to back issues. He did train with the group Thursday and is set to undergo testing to decide his availability, although no update has been released on that testing.

Impact Calvert-Lewin is hitting the injury list for the first time this campaign, having contracted an illness that appears to be affecting multiple players within the club. This is unfortunate news, as he has started in all four matches to this point.

Vitaliy Mykolenko - Continues with illness Mykolenko (illness) missed out on Tuesday's 1-1 (6-5) penalty win over Southampton.

Impact Mykolenko left Saturday's match against Villa due to an illness and appeared unable to kick the issues, as he missed out Tuesday in the Carabao Cup due to the illness. His status hasn't appeared to improve either, as he is unlikely to feature this weekend. They will still hold out and look for him to heal in time and pass a fitness test, as he has started in all four matches this campaign.

Impact Tarkowski is back on the injury list, as after having slight injury concerns to begin the season, he was sat out Tuesday due to an injury.

Armando Broja - Still out with foot issues Broja (ankle) is still out and will need a decent amount of time before a return, according to manager Sean Dyche. "Armando is going to be a bit of time. I think everyone is aware...

Impact Broja will remain out for the time being, likely still needing around two weeks to a month before he thinks about touching the field again. This is due to an ankle issue he held when loaned to the club, having yet to overcome those issues. Even when he returns, he will likely only hold a bench spot, earning time in a rotational role with Dominic Calvert-Lewin holding the starting spot at forward.

Nathan Patterson - Training again but not ready Patterson (hamstring) is training again but will remain out to face Aston Villa on Saturday, according to manager Sean Dyche. "Jarrad is just really on the grass now so he's at the...

Impact Patterson has seen a great improvement in his health after finding a spot in group training over the week, being his first time training with the team since picking up the issues. However, he will still need more time to recover, with his return likely coming within the next one to two weeks. The defender will probably only hold a spot on the bench in a rotational role once fit.

Jarrad Branthwaite - Training again, remains out Branthwaite (groin) has begun to train with the group but will remain out to face Aston Villa on Saturday, according to manager Sean Dyche. "Jarrad is just really on the grass now...

However, he is still out, needing more time to recover before taking the field to ensure he is fit. That said, the defender will look for a return in the next one to two weeks, hoping not to miss much more time as he has yet to debut this campaign.

Seamus Coleman - Touch-and-go to face Villa Coleman (calf) is questionable for Saturday's match against Aston Villa, according to manager Sean Dyche. "Seamus is touch-and-go for the weekend, unfortunately, but we'll see how...

Impact Coleman will be a late call heading into the weekend, likely facing a late fitness test to determine his status. He did start in the one match he has been available for this season, so the club will look to have him fit. That said, if healthy, the defender could see a starting spot but is more likely to serve off the bench, with Ashley Young being his likely replacement if left out altogether.

Seamus Coleman - Returns to England Coleman (calf) has returned to England to work on his recovery following the injury he sustained while serving with the Irish national tram, according to his national team.

Impact Coleman still has yet to receive a further analysis of the issues he picked up. However, that looks likely to change soon after it was reported he is returning to Everton to start his rehabilitation process. They will hope for the best, as many believe it is a relapse of his previous calf issue, which could leave the defender out for some time. He did earn the start for the Toffees in their last match, so this will be something to monitor as he is probable to see regular time when fit.

Seamus Coleman - Forced off Coleman was forced off with an apparent injury during Saturday's loss to England.

Impact Coleman got the start for his country and was forced off before the hour mark. This comes about a week after he returned from a calf issue, if it's the same problem this could be a significant setback for the right-back.

Dwight McNeil - Assist in loss to Cherries McNeil assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), 12 crosses (five accurate) and eight corners in Saturday's 3-2 defeat against AFC Bournemouth.

Impact McNeil played in an attacking role Saturday tucked in behind lead striker, Dominc Calvert-Lewin. He was one the Toffee's key playmakers, executing 12 crosses and creating three big chances. One of these opportunities produced the assist for Calvert-Lewin's goal, Everton's second. The attacking midfielder has been a consistent bright light in what has been a dismal start to his team's season. He also bagged a goal in their last match against Doncaster in the Caribou Cup.

Michael Keane - Goal in loss to Cherries Keane scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 loss to AFC Bournemouth. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 76th minute.

Impact Keane put in a solid shift Saturday. He was, as usual, the backbone of the Toffee's defense executing five clearances and an interception. In attack he managed three shots, scoring the game's opening goal with his only on target attempt. As a regular starter he should continue to make a difference to Everton's backline. From the season's opening three games he has contributed a total of 11 clearances and six interceptions.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Goal and assist in loss Calvert-Lewin scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 defeat against AFC Bournemouth.

He was subbed after 88 minutes. The 27-year-old striker did not make much of an impact in the season's opening two games, hopefully this performance marks the start of better things. He scored seven and created two assists last season.

Jordan Pickford - Concedes three in loss Pickford registered four saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-2 loss against AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Pickford had a mediocre game Saturday, the saves he completed were ones you would expect him to make. He has yet to post a clean sheet this season and following an undistinguished run of form his position as England's choice keep might be in doubt, He will not have an easy ride in the Toffees next against Aston Villa, Villa have won two of their opening three games and bagged four goals.
