Everton manager Roberto Martinez has given his latest injury update ahead of the weekend's meeting with Manchester United.

Midfielder James McCarthy was withdrawn in the latter stages of the 1-0 win over Burnley last weekend with an ankle problem but is expected to get up for Sunday's visit of the Red Devils.

"He [McCarthy] has reacted very well," Martinez said. "For the first 48 hours after a knock like that it is important to see how the ankle recovers.

"The treatment has had a positive response so I expect James to join the group later in the week. If he can get through the two or three sessions before the game then that will be a good sign.

"We need to make sure he is 100 per cent but at the moment the way the ankle has reacted is positive. Knowing James, I do feel that he is going to be available for the squad."
