Everton striker Romleu Lukaku will play in tonight's FA Cup replay against West Ham United as a tribute to Junior Malanda.

Lukaku's boyhood friend was killed in a car crash in Germany on Saturday.

Blues boss Roberto Martinez says Lukaku wants to play in Tuesday's third round fixture in honour of Malanda and told the Daily Mirror: "We all knew that Rom had that relationship with Junior because it was a talking point when we played Wolfsburg in the Europa League, the two of them facing each other.

"We found out straight after the Man City game. It was such incredible news and it has been tough. Rom has been really affected. Everyone has to be honest, as we only played them not long ago.

"Playing football probably allows you to get rid of that feeling and that's exactly what he needs. He trained well on Sunday and we are all helping and supporting him."
