Marco Silva will have Kenny Tete available for Saturday’s meeting with Everton.
Having started the season in excellent form, laying on three assists in seven matches, the right-back has missed the last five fixtures with a hamstring injury.
“He’ll be involved in the squad list,” Silva revealed. “I have to take the decision if he will start or not, but he will be involved in the squad list.
“Of course, that is good news for us. He started the season playing and started at a good level.
“Unfortunately for him, the last two seasons he always had some breaks during the season with some injuries.
“It’s something we are doing our best to try to avoid as much as we can because it’s not good for a player to have all these type of injuries.
“With Kenny, it’s happened too often, because the best thing we can do is to keep him always in the best physical condition we can, because he is an important player for us.”
