Naismith to prove his fitness

Everton boss David Moyes will monitor the condition of Steven Naismith ahead of tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League clash with Wigan at the DW Stadium.

Naismith (calf), who missed last weekend’s 3-1 victory over Southampton, has been training but Moyes is wary of rushing the forward back into action too soon.

The manager has also confirmed that defender Tony Hibbert (calf) and midfielder Darron Gibson (thigh) will once again not feature.

Provisional squad: Howard, Distin, Jagielka, Baines, Neville, Pienaar, Osman, Jelavic, Fellaini, Mucha, Gueye, Heitinga, Anichebe, Mirallas, Naismith, Oviedo, Coleman, Vellios.
