Team news | No issues from Everton, Thomas on Cuti, Destiny, Dom | OneFootball

Thomas Frank reports that Cristian Romero, Dominic Solanke and Destiny Udogie have all taken 'steps forward' as they continue their recovery from injury.

Dominic has been out since August and underwent minor ankle surgery at the end of last month. Destiny has been out since early October with 'minor irritation' on his knee. Club captain Cuti has missed our last three matches with a minor adductor issue.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of our Carabao Cup tie at Newcastle on Wednesday evening (8pm UK), Thomas was asked for an update on all three, plus if there were any issues from Sunday's fine 3-0 win at Everton.

He said: "It's all good from the guys who played on Sunday. Dominic - steps forward, it's step by step. Cuti is on the pitch, no timeframe, but on the pitch. Destiny is on the pitch as well, so, three steps forward."

Yves Bissouma, Ben Davies, Radu Dragusin, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison and Koto Takai remain sidelined.
