Everton manager Roberto Martinez has revealed that Leighton Baines should be fit in time to feature against Manchester City in the Premier League this weekend.
The England full-back recently picked up a knock in the Toffees' defeat to Hull City and had to sit out of his side's 1-1 FA Cup third-round draw to West Ham United.
"I don't expect Leighton to be out for more than than two or three days. It would have been a huge, huge risk for Leighton to play against West Ham, because he had a knock against Hull," said Martinez, according to ESPN.
"I hope he can be fit for the weekend. He wanted to play, but I hope now that he can be fit for the weekend."
Everton currently occupy 13th position in the Premier League table, with 21 points from 20 games this season.
