Benjamin Sesko is set for a few weeks on the sidelines, after pulling up injured late on in the dramatic 2-2 draw at Tottenham Hotspur earlier this month. Our no.30 withdrew from international duty with Slovenia and is working on his recovery, but Amorim says the issue is not too concerning.”He is going to stay out for a few weeks, I don’t know how long, but it is not that serious,” the boss said. “We have to be careful with him, he is going to recover, he is doing the recovery and is feeling better. So in a few weeks I expect to have Ben [Sesko].” Harry Maguire will miss the clash with the Toffees, having also suffered an issue in north London. The centre-back had only just returned to the side after injury forced him to sit out of the games against Brighton and Nottingham Forest. Kobbie Mainoo was absent for the Tottenham trip but could be available in time to face David Moyes’s side as the preparation work continues at Carrington over the weekend.”Maguire is not ready,” Ruben added. “Kobbie didn’t train today but I think tomorrow we could see Kobbie, so we will see.” Lisandro Martinez is getting closer to a return, after being involved in the Argentina camp over the break. “He is becoming close to be ready to play. “Of course we need to be careful as he is going to struggle in the first [few] minutes. He is clearly in the better position compared to two weeks ago.”EVERTON TEAM NEWS David Moyes appeared at his own press conference on Friday afternoon.
