Alex Iwobi has returned to training with Everton, but he will not play against West Ham United on Sunday.
The African star was injured and missed the club's 1-1 draw with Manchester United, as well as Nigeria's 2022 Fifa World Cup double-header against the Central African Republic.
On September 25, he featured for 89 minutes in the Goodison Park giants' 2-0 victory against Norwich City.
He has, however, joined the rest of Rafael Benitez's team for the remainder of the 2021-22 season.

Manager Rafa Benitez stated on the club website that the former Arsenal player, along with Lucas Digne and Seamus Coleman, are back to full health - but that it is too early to make a judgment on their availability against David Moyes' side.
"The international break provides an opportunity to bring players back," Benitez said on the Everton website.
"Alex Iwobi was training, as were Digne and Coleman - which is great news for us since they have begun training with the team."
"The others are improving, and we'll see how they are next week."
"Lucas had a problem and was treated for two or three days, but he has resumed training."
Iwobi has only scored one goal and provided one assist in eight games this season in all competitions.
Super Eagle Iwobi recently waxed lyrical about the Spaniard for helping him progress in this campaign with his counsel and consistent support.
"The manager is always speaking to me and attempting to assist me. "It's really benefited me this season," the 25-year-old remarked.
"Of course, it's not just myself, but the entire squad [he addresses]." My self-assurance is also important. I'm pressing a little higher up the field and participating in attacks.
"I only need to add more goals and assists to meet the manager's expectations." With the manager, he doesn't let us relax; he's on us 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This is exactly what we require.
"It's clear that everyone is playing with a lot of confidence. "There is a strong motivation [to continue producing great results]."
Everton are fifth in the English Premier League table after seven games, having collected 14 points.
