Everton have been handed a timely injury boost ahead of their Premier League clash with Southampton on Saturday.
The Toffees will be looking to build on a positive start to life under Marco Silva this weekend after they were held to a 2-2 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers and it appears that the man that starred in that fixture will be available for their next game.
According to Ben Dinnery, who is a freelance injury data analyst, Richarlison has been passed fit to face the Saints, following a slight calf problem.
The Brazilian, who joined Silva at Goodison Park from Watford this summer in a big-money deal, started life as an Everton player in fine fashion last weekend.
Richarlison managed to score a brace on his debut against Wolves and Everton will be hoping he can continue that fine form and help the club to take the three points from Southampton.
The Verdict:
Everton will be delighted that Richarlison has been deemed fit for the clash with the Saints after he picked up a calf injury.
There was a sense of surprise when the Toffees spent as much as they did on the 21-year-old, however, if his debut for the club is a sign of things to come, he will be an important player for the team.
Everton will feel more confident of securing a result with the midfielder in the team, however, Silva will know Southampton will prove a different kind of test to the one that Wolves provided them.
