Everton defender Conor Coady remains influential in the dressing room under boss Sean Dyche.

Coady, who is on a season-long loan from Wolves, has not featured much since Dyche became manager.

However, despite his last game coming in a February game against Aston Villa, his close team-mate James Tarkowski has heaped praise on him this week.

Per the Liverpool Echo, Tarkowski said: “I think everyone knows what he is like but for someone who has not played for the last few weeks to still be talking the way he is, day in and day out.

“I know on a matchday it can't be easy for him but he cares."

He added on Coady being a positive influence: “He is one of them.

“We all want the best for this club and we all want the best for the team so everyone's noses are pointing in the same direction."
