Trying something a bit different - here is every word Andoni Iraola had to say during the broadcast section of his press conference previewing #afcb's clash with Everton.https://t.co/1KjEBsVVA0
However, the Dutch international has been out injured with an ankle issue since the end of January.
Speaking ahead of the game, Everton boss Sean Dyche stated there was little chance of seeing Danjuma on the pitch any time soon.
Dyche began: "Arnie is only just back out on the grass with us.
"He's been on the grass with the medical side and the sports science side getting fit and making sure he's well but literally his first training session was with us - as a group β (was Thursday).
βSo, therefore, he's going to need a bit of time to make sure he's right."

- 'I wouldn't say he cannot play ' - Iraola waiting for update on Kerkez availability

Aarons back for Cherries' Everton clash but calls to be made over internationals
Toffees have other injury concerns, with Lewis Dobbin (ankle) and Dele Alli (groin) also ruled out.
Internationals Seamus Coleman and Idrissa Gana Gueye will be in contention, according to Dyche.
He restarted: "Idrissa played (for Senegal), there was a lot of travelling involved so he's had a quieter day (Thursday) but he's fit.Β
"Seamus is a valuable member of the Club, let alone the squad - what he stands for, he's been exceptional and he still is.
βTo get those games (for Ireland) under his belt is very pleasing because the hardest thing when you're coming out of an injury is to get game time.
He's never out of contention as long as he's fit, obviously, and he is fit.β
