Everton

Branthwaite (hamstring) is still not ready to return for Everton, coach David Moyes said in the press conference. "Jarrad's getting closer, but he's certainly not there yet. Hopefully we get him back because he's a huge player for us. He's a player who has big value and we have lots of hopes for him. I think it'll be a few before we're at that stage (of Jarrad returning)."

Mykolenko (undisclosed) could be available for Saturday's clash against Aston Villa, coach David Moyes said in the press conference. "Myko's around it. We need to see if he's going to make it or not. Hopefully, he might be okay. He felt something in the game against Wolves. He felt he was fine to go with Ukraine and go with them. But once he got there, he felt it maybe wasn't quite right, so came away from it."

Ndiaye is a late call for Saturday's clash against Aston Villa due to a knock, coach David Moyes said in the press conference. "We've got a concern about Ili Ndiaye. He's got a knock, so we'll need to see. We're not sure how he'll be for tomorrow."

Aznou (ankle) is nearing a return with Everton but isn't considered match ready yet, coach David Moyes said in the press conference. "Young Adam got a game at Doncaster a week ago, so we're getting him back in and amongst it. So, he's back fit. Is he match ready to play? I'm not 100-per-cent sure."

Patterson (groin) is working his way back from injury, coach David Moyes said in the press conference. "He's back in training. Patto's not had any football yet, so I'd not put him down as match ready."

Branthwaite (hamstring) has yet to log minutes for Everton this season and is uncertain to be available to face Aston Villa on Sep. 13.

Mykolenko (undisclosed) suffered a setback from his injury and has been withdrawn from the Ukraine squad, according to the Liverpool Echo.

Aznou (ankle) played 80 minutes in a match against Doncaster Rovers with Everton's U21 squad, according to his club.
