Everton suffer another injury blow in warm-up ahead of Fleetwood Town match

Everton have been struck by another potential injury blow - with Tom Davies forced out of the starting line-up to take on Fleetwood Town tonight.

Davies was initially named on the teamsheet in midfield for this evening's Carabao Cup clash.

But after what appeared to be an issue during the warm-up for the game, Davies was taken out of the side and replaced by Demarai Gray. Taking Gray's place on the bench is goalkeeper Billy Crellin.

Lampard was seen in conversation with Davies on the pitch after he pulled up. It remains to be seen exactly how Everton reshuffle, but Alex Iwobi looks set to drop into midfield with Gray as part of the attack.

Amadou Onana is getting his first start as an Everton player tonight, while Anthony Gordon has been named as a substitute with speculation still swirling over his future.

Dele Alli is not in the matchday squad, with Allan, Andre Gomes and Jean-Philippe Gbamin also absent.

Everton XI now: Begovic, Patterson, Keane, Welch, Vinagre, Coleman, Onana, Iwobi, Gray, McNeil, Rondon.

Subs: Lonergan, Tarkowski, Holgate, Gordon, Mykolenko, Warrington, Mills, Price, Crellin.
