It’s good for the confidence and all of the other boys, not just him, [with] Fabian [Delph] coming back from injury and Djibril [Sidibe, who made his Everton debut against Lincoln City] there’s good depth in the squad at the moment.

“Hopefully, the boys who have been injured and not in the squad can really push us because we need every player in the squad.”
