Frank Lampard gives Everton injury update on six players as Vitalii Mykolenko returns

Everton manager Frank Lampard has revealed that Demarai Gray is still out injured for Saturday's fixture at Southampton.

Gray missed the emphatic display as Everton defeated Leeds United 3-0 at Goodison Park last Saturday after he limped out of their 3-1 defeat at Newcastle United on February 8 but Lampard had been hopeful of getting him back for the trip to the South Coast but that will not now be the case.

The Blues boss said: "(Vitalii) Mylokenko is back but Demarai Gray won't quite make this weekend. We're hopeful for the following week.

"Doucoure trained with us today in his first integration into a proper session so hopefully over the next week we can see a strong progression for him to be available for the following week.

"Ben Godfrey is getting closer. Hopefully we're on schedule at least for that which means two or three weeks. Yerry Mina is a bit longer. He's just starting the process.

"Fabian Delph is similar to Ben Godfrey. We're hopeful for two or three weeks for those two."
