Everton's James McCarthy: Missed Sunday's match

McCarthy missed Sunday's match against Southampton, which resulted in a 1-0 loss, due to hamstring concerns.

Analysis:

McCarthy was withdrawn from training earlier in the week prior to Sunday's match and then missed the match. Ronald Koeman hopes that he'll be available for the club as they prepare for a full December, which features six league matches starting with Manchester United on Sunday. He'll hope to be back in the squad for Sunday's match after resting and working on his fitness in preparation for a busy month ahead.
