Rooney back at Everton

Everton striker Wayne Rooney returns to Goodison Park tomorrow for the first time since making his England debut.

However manager David Moyes may decide to keep the 17-year-old forward on the bench against Southampton.

Midfielder Steve Watson could return after a bruised heel caused him to miss the defeat Charlton.

Defender Alan Stubbs suffered a knee injury in that match and might be doubtful.

Provisional squad: Wright, Pistone, Stubbs, Yobo, Weir, Unsworth, Watson, Gravesen, Gemmill, Li Tie, Naysmith, McBride, Radzinski, Rooney, Campbell, Gerrard, Carsley.
