‘Something we need’ - Unsworth drools over Bolasie return

After almost a year out, Yannick Bolasie had his first training with Everton senior team on Wednesday, and David Unsworth is delighted as the winger is close to a return.

Bolasie last played in December - in the Merseysiders' English Premier League clash against Manchester United at Old Trafford, where he suffered a serious knee injury.

And with the former Crystal Palace winger gradually returning to fitness, coach Unsworth believes his qualities - especially his pace - is something a struggling Everton need.

“Yannick trained with us this morning for the first time,” said Unsworth ahead of Atalanta clash.
