Theo Walcott is looking to make a return to full fitness in time for Everton’s upcoming Premier League encounter with West Ham, according to a report from the Liverpool Echo.
The experienced winger was forced off in the second half of Everton’s 1-1 home draw against Huddersfield Town prior to the international break, with Marco Silva later confirming that he had suffered a rib injury.
Walcott’s current condition remains uncertain but according to the Echo’s report, he is seemingly confident about his chances of featuring against the Hammers.
The minor injury came as a blow to Walcott, who had started his season in fine fashion for Everton. Several knocks have been inflicted on the Toffees’ squad at this early stage of the season but Silva will be relieved that the former Arsenal star’s problem is not to a more severe extent.
The 29-year-old will be desperate to make the difference once again for his side as Everton look to consign West Ham to their fifth consecutive Premier League defeat.
