Jarrad Branthwaite is back in training at Everton as he bids to make a swift return from injury.
The teenage Cumbrian defender, who scored his first Premier League goal for the Toffees at Chelsea last month, has been sidelined with a hamstring problem.
But 19-year-old former Carlisle United prospect Branthwaite has been pictured back in training with Rafa Benitez's squad today.
The young centre-half has sat out games against Brighton & Hove Albion and Hull City.
A return against Norwich City on Saturday may come too soon for the Wigton player.
But the signs are that a comeback is on the horizon, after Benitez recently said the defender had to be "managed" for another week before coming back into the first-team fold.
Everton said Branthwaite was involved in "part" of the latest training session, along with team-mates Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison, Yerry Mina and Fabian Delph who are also on the comeback trail after injuries.
