Lots of Everton fans have been left buzzing as some news emerged on Abdoulaye Doucoure.

As per Fabrizio Romano, the central midfield player is now set to back from injury earlier than initially expected.

He is preparing to come back in between four and four and a half weeks, after the next international break has finished.

Doucoure is currently ranked as the Merseyside club's second-best player in the Premier League so far this season, only behind Dominic Calvert-Lewin with an average rating of 7.3 given by WhoScored, and his swift return will no doubt be welcomed by Rafa Benitez given their last couple of results at Goodison Park, in which they have lost 1-0 and 5-2 to West Ham United and Watford respectively.

A return after the international break would rather crucially mark him fit for the visit of Liverpool on December 1.
