Everton’s coaching staff are closely monitoring Fabian Delph as they seek to make the most of the midfielder during the final weeks of the season.
Delph has played almost every minute of the Blues’ last two games, underlining his importance to Frank Lampard. But staff are keen not to overload him following his recovery from injury.
Delph was sidelined for months due to a thigh injury but returned to Everton’s squad following the international break. He made the bench against Burnley before playing until the 85th minute against Manchester United - a game in which he was one of several Blues to impress as they clinched a 1-0 victory.
