Everton boss Sam Allardyce has suggested that he is prepared to give Yannick Bolasie some playing time in the Premier League.
Bolasie has spent over a year on the sidelines with a serious knee injury, but the winger has successfully come through two second-string fixtures over the past 11 days.
Allardyce decided against naming Bolasie in his squad for Monday's 3-1 win over Swansea City, but the former England boss has indicated that the player could feature on the bench for Saturday's clash with Chelsea.
The 63-year-old told reporters: "Physically he is ready, technically he's a little rusty but we have to think about throwing him in at some stage. He could be on the bench tomorrow."
Bolasie has made a total of 15 appearances in all competitions since Everton paid a fee of £25m for his signature ahead of the start of last season.
