(Reuters) - Everton defender Leighton Baines could return to the squad for Saturday's Premier League trip to Watford after fully recovering from a calf injury that has kept him out of action for nearly three months, manager Sam Allardyce said on Friday.
Left back Baines has not played for the club since their 4-1 league defeat by Southampton in November. The 33-year-old's availability is a boost for Allardyce with Eliaquim Mangala (knee) out injured and Seamus Coleman (thigh strain) doubtful for the weekend.
