No injury worries over defender
Everton boss Roberto Martinez does not believe there are any long-term injury worries over defender Antolin Alcaraz.
No injury worries over defender The 31-year-old has been plagued by injury problems for the past two seasons, and he has only featured for Everton four times this season.
He has also been out of the side with muscle fatigue after being asked to play three times in a week.
The Paraguay international is expected to be fit enough to be in the squad for the Chelsea game and Martinez is confident there are no long-term fitness issues with the centre-half, although he will keep a close eye on him.
"Antolin is fully fit now and it is just about making sure we give him the right introduction back into the team," said Martinez.
"I never wanted for him to play three games in a week when he came back from injury and that set him back a little bit.
"But he is fully fit now, he is working with the team and it is a fantastic time
