Midfielder Gueye to face late fitness test for Everton

Idrissa Gana Gueye faces a late fitness test before Everton meet Premier League leaders Manchester City at Goodison Park.

The midfielder suffered a hamstring injury in the Toffees’ victory over Stoke prior to the international break and will be assessed on Saturday morning.

Gylfi Sigurdsson (knee) remains out while defender Ashley Williams completes a three-game ban.

Manchester City defender John Stones will miss Saturday’s trip to his former club Everton after suffering a head injury on international duty.

Stones has recovered from the blow that forced him off during England’s friendly against Italy on Tuesday but must sit out due to concussion protocols.

Top scorer Sergio Aguero (knee) is now close to fitness but City may rest him with next week’s Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool in mind. Benjamin Mendy (knee) also remains on the sidelines.
