Ex-Everton forward Richarlison could make an unexpected return to Goodison Park on Monday when the Blues host Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
The Brazilian had been set to miss out on a reunion with his former club after leaving the field in tears during the early stages of Spurs' 3-3 draw with Southampton on March 18.
But according to the Evening Standard, following diagnosis, the 25-year-old's injury is not as serious as first feared and he could now be back in contention to make an appearance against the Toffees after all.
