When Kurt Zouma joined Everton on transfer deadline day, it was unclear how much game time the defender would have.
Injury curtailed his progress at Chelsea, hence why he spent last season on loan at Stoke City and is now on a temporary deal at Goodison Park.
Zouma earned his first Everton start prior to the international break where he partnered Mason Holgate at the heart of the defence in a 1-1 draw with Huddersfield Town.
On Sunday, Marco Silva’s side will take on West Ham United, but they are dealing with an injury crisis.
Seamus Coleman was recently added to the list, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin suffered a knock while playing for the England Under-21s on Tuesday night.
In defence, the Toffees are also slightly limited as there are doubts about the availability of Michael Keane, Yerry Mina and Phil Jagielka.

Zouma is likely to start against the Hammers anyway, but in a recent poll we conducted, it seems that the majority of Everton fans were always keen on the centre-back keeping his place.
