Roberto Martinez: 'Antolin Alcaraz is fully fit, injury woes behind him'

By , Staff Reporter
Everton manager Roberto Martinez insists that defender Antolin Alcaraz is fully fit following a number of injury problems.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez has insisted that Antolin Alcaraz is fully fit following a number of injury concerns this season.

The defender recovered from a groin problem to make his Everton debut in December, but has suffered numerous muscle issues since.

"Antolin is fully fit now and it is just about making sure we give him the right introduction back into the team," the Liverpool Echo quotes Alcaraz as saying.

"I never wanted for him to play three games in a week when he came back from injury and that set him back a little bit, but he is fully fit now.

"He is working with the team and it is a fantastic time in the season to have Antolin back, alongside the other centre-halves. To have Antolin alongside Sylvain Distin, Phil Jagielka and John Stones is as good as it gets really."

The Toffees are currently sixth in the Premier League table.
