Martinez: 'Aaron Lennon to face Chelsea'

Everton manager Roberto Martinez has confirmed that Aaron Lennon will be in the squad to face Chelsea on Saturday.

The 28-year-old moved to Goodison Park on a permanent basis from Tottenham Hotspur on the final day of the transfer window, having had a loan spell with the Toffees last season.

Martinez has said that he is not too concerned about Lennon's fitness, despite him not featuring yet this term.

"I'm not worried about his physical state and he needs to play games now to sharpen up his play," the Spaniard told The Independent.

"He's refreshed and is in a great position. He knows the football club inside out and is desperate to get back to Goodison. From that point of view, I expect Aaron to be involved one way or another at the weekend."

Lennon netted two goals in 14 appearances for Everton last season.
