Everton will face Southampton in the Premier League on Monday.
Ahead of the match, Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that both Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Allan are training well and available for selection against the Saints.
Calvert-Lewin came on as a substitute in the 2-0 win against Liverpool. Allan returned to the Everton squad after a long injury lay-off but he only made the bench.

The Italian boss has also claimed that centre-back Yerry Mina could return to action in two weeks time.
However, he wasn’t missed during the clash at Anfield. The trio of Michael Keane, Ben Godfrey and Mason Holgate were superb, but Ancelotti could tweak his system against the Saints at home.
Gbamin is “progressing well” but still no date set for return to training. Mina the same. “Two weeks” or so away

Josh King, the January signing from AFC Bournemouth, has made only four substitute appearances so far, clocking 67 minutes of action. Ancelotti has confirmed that he is progressing well and will start in certain games in the near future.
