Everton boss Roberto Martinez has cleared forward Arouna Kone to play, according to "EvertonFC.com", after the Ivorian has struggled to recover from a long-term knee injury: “Arouna is available for selection, even though we need to be cautious with him. He is in a situation where he has been training with the group now for a while and I do think that he is ready for 11-a-side.

“He’s played a game for the Under-21s last week, so he is available for selection. But I need to make a decision tomorrow morning.
