Everton captain Seamus Coleman is also making significant progress in his efforts to return to the pitch.
The veteran right-back has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury in the first 10 minutes against Manchester United at Old Trafford in November. Coleman had barely featured for the Blues in the initial stages of the season after signing a new one-year deal over the summer.
Everton shared clips of him taking part in individual drills and making short sprints with changes in direction on social media. A potential return will be desperately welcome given that the squad is light on players at the moment.
Jarrad Branthwaite is also making progress in his return from injury while Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall remains sidelined with a hamstring problem and Charly Alcaraz and Tim Iroegbunam are also dealing with undisclosed injuries.
Meanwhile, Iliman Ndiaye and Idrissa Gana Gueye will face Morocco in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations, after helping Senegal beat Egypt in the semi-final on Wednesday.
