Supporters of Everton have predicted a starting spot for Oumar Niasse against Norwich City following a club post.
On Friday afternoon, eagle-eyed Everton fans spotted the Senegalese striker back training with the first team and tipped him for a spot (via Everton).
Having been frozen out of the first-team set-up in recent months (per Liverpool Echo), fans were pleased to see him back involved.

The 29-year-old is yet to feature for Marco Silva’s side so far this term, having last played a professional game of football whilst out on loan at Cardiff City last season, where he scored no goals in 13 appearances (per Transfermarkt).
With a little more than a hint of irony about them, supporters were hinting at a potential start for the man who has nine goals and four assists in 39 appearances for the Toffees (as per Transfermarkt).

What do we think?
While it is good to see that Niasse is no longer an outcast from the Toffees’ first team, it is extremely unlikely that he will get the nod to feature against the Canaries.
With pressure mounting on Silva (via BBC), the Portuguese manager will be wanting to go with his strongest possible lineup for the clash.
