Midfielder Gareth Barry will have to drop out of the Everton team to face QPR at Loftus Road on Sunday.
Barry started the 5-2 Europa League defeat to Dynamo Kiev on Thursday night but he has one more game to serve on his two-match domestic suspension after picking up 10 yellow cards this season.
Toffees boss Roberto Martinez remains without Kevin Mirallas (knock), Bryan Oviedo (hamstring), Tony Hibbert and Steven Pienaar (both knee) but reported no new injuries from the trip to Ukraine and Aiden McGeady (knee) will be in the squad along with Aaron Lennon, who was cup-tied in the Europa League.
Provisional squad: Howard, Robles, Griffiths, Stones, Alcaraz, Jagielka, Browning, Coleman, Baines, Garbutt, Besic, McCarthy, Lennon, Barkley, Gibson, Osman, Atsu, McGeady, Naismith, Lukaku, Kone.
