The Toffees are dealing with the loss of multiple key players for the final games of the year.
James Garner, entering the final six months of his contract, prefers limiting his focus to the field instead.
James Garner is looking forward to leading the midfield despite the absence of partners Idrissa Gana Gueye and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
Dewsbury-Hall limped off the pitch after 16 minutes on his return to Stamford Bridge.
Everton will miss Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall because of injury while Iliman Ndiaye and Idrissa Gana Gueye are leaving for Afcon for a few weeks.
First-half goals from Cole Palmer and Malo Gusto saw Everton lose 2-0 at Stamford Bridge.
With the midfield set to be massively depleted for the next few weeks, possibly throughout the upcoming transfer window, Everton are planning to sign yet another goalkeeper.

Jordan Pickford's greatest Premier League saves
Everton have moved up to 11th in the standings following their 2-0 win over Fulham at home.
Everton scored five goals at the Hill Dickinson Stadium this weekend to get back to winning ways against Fulham but three of them were disallowed for some dubious offside calls.
Everton are more than a quarter of the way through another Premier League season, and this campaign is off to a better start than the previous one.
