Richarlison is expected to be fit for Everton’s Premier League match against Southampton on Saturday, Sky Sports News understands.

The 21-year-old, who joined Everton from Watford for £40m in the summer, scored twice in the 2-2 opening day draw at Wolves but limped off in the second half.

Sky Sports News understands he was suffering from cramp and will be in contention to make his first appearance at Goodison Park.
