Everton fans will be delighted to see Gerard Deulofeu’s name cropping up again ahead of the Merseyside Derby.
It is just days until David Moyes and his men return to Premier League action on the weekend with a trip to Anfield.
The Toffees have been out of action for a couple of weeks now and there has been the opportunity for some of the players to return from injury.
Iliman Ndiaye and Dwight McNeil have both returned to training following their respective issues.
Everton’s players have returned to Finch Farm over recent days after the international break drew to an end.
Following Friday’s training session, the club saw former player Deulofeu react to something they put on social media.

Earlier in the year, Deulofeu shared his wish to return to Everton to watch the Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park.
The midfielder was responding to the strong winds which had been hitting the north west over recent months.

Deulofeu’s infamous social media post from his time at Everton about the window was referred to on Friday.
A post showing Beto and Yousseff Chermiti battling the elements was replied to by Deulofeu himself.
“Yes Sir,” said the former Udinese winger as he appreciated the reference to his old tweet.
This isn’t the first time the 31-year-old has interacted with his former club.
Back in September, Deulofeu shared his love for Everton following his time on Merseyside, where he played 75 times.
Gerard Deulofeu left Udinese in January
After enjoying a solid run in Italy with Udinese, Deulofeu was forced to terminate his contract following a serious knee injury.
“We have agreed to terminate the contract, but the relationship and support remain special,” he said.
Deulofeu’s time at Everton may not have provided a huge amount of goals, but the winger showed some real quality.
Given the Spaniard has been through a really difficult time with his injury decision, it will please a lot of fans to see the 31-year-old interacting with the Merseyside club.
