Everton boss David Moyes has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game at home against Arsenal (12:30 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
- Moyes confirmed Iliman Ndiaye is "in the frame" to start after returning from injury off the bench against Liverpool on Wednesday but is "lacking proper match fitness".
- On Dwight McNeil, who has been absent since December with a knee injury: "Dwight is back in training - he's had about three or four days on the grass. He's getting closer and if we can get him involved we will do."
- Jesper Lindstrom is not available and will be seeing a specialist about a groin problem. Moyes said medical staff are "half looking to see if it's a hernia".
- When asked if Armando Broja and Youssef Chermiti were pushing to start, Moyes said: "Yeah they are knocking at the door. It's great news that we're talking about us getting chances to score. Beto was a little bit unlucky the other night. You look at the points we've got and quite a lot are to do with his goals. We've just missed that last bit but certainly Broja and Chermiti are getting closer to match fitness than they have been."
- Moyes commented on the club statement condemning social media abuse aimed at James Tarkowski: "It's not acceptable for anybody, in any walk of life. I believe it could have been a sending off but that doesn't mean you should be abused online."
- On the decision to allow Diogo Jota's goal on Wednesday: "You can always hide behind words. Anybody who's followed football would see that as offside. I find it really incredible. We're about to go into the semi-automated - it would be interesting to see what they would do about the decision."
- On the final four games at Goodison Park: "It feels as if we're getting to the end of a long season. For everybody who follows Everton, there's not many days left at Goodison. People will be pretty sad it's going but really excited about the prospect of moving to a new stadium."
- On Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, who played under Moyes at Everton: "I'm thrilled for Mikel because he is one of our ex-players. Mikel has done unbelievably well. He's worked under arguably the best manager in the world since Sir Alex [Ferguson] in Pep [Guardiola]. Culturally, he's from Spain but he's played most of his football here, so he's got a really good balance."
