Midfielder closing in on return
Leon Osman is set to hand Everton a massive fitness boost by returning to training.
The highly-rated midfielder has been out of action since mid-December after breaking his toe.
Osman is making good progress with the injury and he is hopeful of returning to action soon.
"I am trying to push as hard as I can every day without injuring myself again," Osman told the club's official website.
"Certain days I have pushed a little bit too hard, so the physios have to pull the reins in and slow me down. I'll be back as quick as my body will heal though."
