“Mykolenko is back in the thinking. The other three, it’s touch and go with Seamus – he needs a few more days of training. Youngy is making progress but I don’t think he will make this one, and Doucs not for this one…he [Doucoure] is making good progress. He is a good healer from what I gather from his past so we are hoping it will settle as quickly as it is doing,” says Sean Dyche. [RBM]

“It’s an amazing group to be part of. It does genuinely feel like a family here now. The bond in the changing room is amazing, the best I’ve ever seen. It’s nice to think that I’ve been accepted as a person and as a player by them. Hopefully it continues…I love Everton. This club is all I’ve known all of my life, really. It means a lot to me and to be able to have these chances and to score in front of a full Goodison, having been watching games here since the age of 11, is something I’ve been dreaming about for a long time. Now I’ve lived it, just want to do it again and again and again,” says youngster Lewis Dobbin. [EFC]
