Ahead of the Everton game, Arne Slot has given the latest on the state of his squad.

Here’s a look at the latest from the treatment room.

The record signing was named in the starting line-up for the win over Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night and played 58 minutes of the game before being replaced.

The striker is still not able to play 90 minutes as he builds up his fitness after a disrupted pre-season.

What Slot has said: “I don’t think I tell the media a lot the day before the game, how we start the game!” Slot said ahead of the Everton clash.

"We had recovery yesterday, we’re going to train this afternoon.

“So first of all we have to see how they all feel.

What I do know is that Alex did feel his body more maybe than ever before after the 60 minutes he played.

“So let’s see how he’s recovered today and then we’ll think about the line-up, mainly today, and you will hear it tomorrow.”

Return date: Vs Everton (H) (20 September)

Jones missed both the Premier League clash against Burnley and the Champions League win over Atletico due to a muscle injury.

What Slot has said: "He's back in the frame.

In the squad, I would say."

Return date: Vs Everton (H) (20 September)
