Marco Silva took to the stand this afternoon to preview his side’s clash with Crystal Palace on Sunday.
The Toffees take on the Eagles at Goodison at 4pm, a game they’ll be hopeful of taking all three points from.
Silva had some bad news regarding injuries, however, as he confirmed Idrissa Gana Gueye has an ‘issue’ and is a doubt for the game.
Whilst Silva revealed there’s a problem, he didn’t fully rule out the midfielder from action, instead choosing to wait until closer to the time.

It’s a blow for Everton who would ideally like a full strength squad at this crucial stage of the campaign.
There was more positive news, however, regarding the fitness of some other players.

The gaffer declared it a possibility that Andre Gomes, Yerry Mina and James McCarthy could all play a part this weekend.
Fans have eagerly anticipated seeing both Gomes and Mina since they joined the Blues in the summer – and they may now get their wish.
Despite the potential loss of Gueye, Silva will be delighted to have more squad options with the return of the other three.
