Everton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin fighting to be fit for Merseyside Derby... as he calls out Tony Bellew during boxing session

Morgan Schneiderlin is fighting to be fit for Everton's Merseyside Derby clash with Liverpool on Saturday.

The Frenchman has been a doubt for the clash at Anfield since suffering a calf problem in the Toffees' victory over Hull on March 18, after which he left Goodison Park on crutches and was forced to miss out on international action with his country.

A scan revealed the injury was not as serious as first feared and the midfielder has now given further hope that he may be available, after the club posted a video of him working in the gym wearing a pair of boxing gloves.
