Having missed the defeat to Southampton, Abdoulaye Doucouré remains a fitness doubt for this weekend

Abdoulaye Doucouré will be given every chance to prove he is fit enough to feature in some capacity when Everton travel to the London Stadium this weekend to face fellow strugglers West Ham.

The Frenchman missed the defeat at Southampton last Saturday because of injury and it was initially feared that he might be sidelined for a number of weeks.

However, Sean Dyche explained in his press conference ahead of the trip to the Capital that the problem "has settled down" and that Doucouré "has a chance" of being involved as the Toffees look to bounce back from a terrible result at St Mary's that ended their five-game unbeaten run.

Seamus Coleman has not been selected in recent matches after returning from his own fitness issues but Dyche explained that the Club captain has suffered a relapse with a minor hamstring strain that will keep him out of Saturday's clash with the Hammers and the Republic of Ireland's upcoming internationals this month.

Meanwhile, Armando Broja continues to make progress towards finally being available following his loan move from Chelsea. The forward has been involved in training with the senior players for the first time this week, partaking in light drills and ball work as the Club's medical staff build towards contact training and, eventually, practice matches at Finch Farm.

Anyone got a spare for the West Ham match, please?

I will be in London on Saturday, so could meet at the ground, if necessary. Text or phone Ray on 077950 14152. Thanks

The BBC reporting that a “fit again Seamus Coleman” returns to the Ireland squad for the upcoming international break, while Dyche says he will miss the Ireland games due to a hamstring injury.

So who's right? You'd think Dyche is right and Seamus will be withdrawn from the Ireland squad.

Well it's time again to start getting into match day mode. As always, I go into every match thinking we can get a result.

I hope the players have the same faith as the supporters.
