According to reports from BBC Sport, Everton midfielder Andre Gomes will make his comeback in a practice match on Sunday.

The 26-year-old suffered a fractured dislocation to his ankle while playing against Tottenham Hotspur in November during a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park.

The former Barcelona midfielder is set to make a comeback after 105 days from the incident.

It was earlier feared that Gomes, who underwent surgery on his right ankle, would miss the rest of the season after a challenge involving Tottenham’s Son Heung-min.

However, he has shown remarkable progress after surgery and returned to full training last month.

The report claims that Gomes could be in contention for a recall when Everton visit Arsenal on 23 February.

The Portugal international could become a key player under Carlo Ancelotti at Goodison Park.

Everton have picked up their form under the Italian boss and find themselves in 8th place, only five points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
