Ronald Koeman has no regrets over Oumar Niasse

Everton boss Ronald Koeman insists he is not feeling frustrated at having left Oumar Niasse out of his squad for the Toffees’ Europa League group stage matches.

When the squad was confirmed earlier this month, Senegal striker Niasse had not made an Everton first-team appearance since May 2016, with him having spent time banished to the U23s and then on loan at Hull.

But he returned in some style last week, coming off the bench to score once in the 3-0 Carabao Cup win over Sunderland and twice in Saturday’s 2-1 Premier League victory against Bournemouth.
