Everton suffered late pre-match drama as Ben Godfrey was withdrawn from the starting line up to face Liverpool.
Godfrey, who had impressed in recent weeks and kept his starting place despite the return of Yerry Mina against Leicester City, was due to partner Mason Holgate in the centre of Everton’s defence.
But in the final warm-up drills on the Anfield pitch Keane had replaced him among the first eleven. Everton have now confirmed he will not start, though the club has not confirmed the reason.
