(Reuters) - Everton are looking forward to the return of key players Yannick Bolasie, James McCarthy and Ross Barkley from injury layoffs with interim manager David Unsworth saying the trio were close to full fitness. "Yannick trained with us this morning for the first time...," Unsworth told reporters ahead of Thursday's Europa League game against Atalanta. "To get those proven Premier League players back into the team and into the squad will be a big plus for us. "Conversations have already taken place as regards areas we need improving, or recruitment in January, and they will continue," Unsworth added. That won't change day to day, week to week, depending on how long I am in the job, until somebody else takes this seat."
