The English defender has been injured since the end of August, but is hopeful to return to the squad for Saturday's league encounter.

In an interview originally with Everton Live ahead of Sunday's clash with Manchester United, the Liverpool Echo quotes the centre back: "I'm good. I trained yesterday (Saturday), obviously it was a lighter session with it being the day before a game, so hopefully I'll get another week of training in and I should be available to in the squad next week, hopefully.

"The timing of [the injury] wasn't ideal but you could always say that whenever you get injured. It's part of football, you just have to get on with it and hopefully I can come back stronger and better."
