McCarthy back in action for derby

Everton boss Roberto Martinez expects James McCarthy to be available for Saturday’s Merseyside derby – and fully fit for the rest of the season.

It had been reported Toffees midfielder McCarthy was set to miss out on the Barclays Premier League clash with Liverpool at Goodison Park having aggravated in training the hamstring problem that has restricted him to only two appearances since November and none so far in 2015.
