# Everton: Demarai Gray available to face Wolves

**Everton correspondent [Patrick Boyland](https://twitter.com/paddy_boyland/status/1502277323449585667?s=21) has relayed another positive injury boost ahead of the Toffees’ clash with Wolves this afternoon.**

### The Lowdown: Gray’s absence

The 25-year-old hasn’t had the best of seasons so far, with his [last league goal](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/demarai-gray/leistungsdaten/spieler/292417) coming against Arsenal in December.

Since then, Gray has been out with a hip problem and missed the defeat to Tottenham last Monday due to [illness](https://www.evertonfc.com/news/2526607/everton-boss-gives-team-news-update).

It now looks as if he is in line to return for the Toffees, though, with Frank Lampard desperate to guide his team away from danger with three points this afternoon.

### The Latest: Gray available v Wolves

[Boyland](https://twitter.com/paddy_boyland/status/1502277323449585667?s=21) took to Twitter on Friday afternoon to relay news from Lampard’s pre-match press conference.

When it came to injuries, he confirmed that both Ben Godfrey and Gray are ‘fit and available’ for the Goodison Park clash.

### The Verdict: Huge

[Godfrey](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ben-godfrey/leistungsdaten/spieler/343475) and [Gray](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/demarai-gray/leistungsdaten/spieler/292417) have been regulars for the Toffees when fit, so having them both back is a significant boost for the club. Indeed, the ex-Leicester winger has actually been the squad’s highest-rated player this season according to [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/31/Show/England-Everton), an illustration of how much he can contribute when fit to feature.

Everton’s [home form](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-everton/spielplan/verein/29) may well be crucial as they look to avoid relegation, so having the pair back for Wolves today and possibly Newcastle in midweek is huge.

Hopefully they can play a part in helping Lampard to just a second league victory in charge of Everton this afternoon.
