​Everton midfielder Andre Gomes returns to training ahead of Liverpool clash

Everton midfielder Andre Gomes has returned to first-team training with the club.

The Portuguese central midfielder is still working his way to full match fitness, per boss Rafa Benitez.

The Toffees are unlikely to risk him for their Wednesday night Merseyside derby against Liverpool.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Benitez said, per the club website: "The group of players is the same, but Gomes is training.

"Still Dominic [Calvert-Lewin], Yerry Mina and Tom Davies are not available.

"At least we have players training regularly and that is a great advantage for the future.

"They will need some time to have match fitness but at least they are training now."
