James McCarthy and Seamus Coleman are among those to have not travelled with the Everton squad to Russia for Thursday's Europa League Group H clash with FK Krasnodar.

McCarthy, who has felt tightness in his quads, and Coleman, now nursing a soft tissue problem having recovered from concussion, could be in contention for Sunday's trip to Manchester United, unlike Kevin Mirallas, who also did not travel and who is set to be out for "a while" with the hamstring injury he sustained in Saturday's 1-1 Premier League draw at Liverpool.

Sylvain Distin (rested) and Steven Pienaar (quad) and two others missing from a party for Thursday's game that features youngsters Tyias Browning, Luke Garbutt and Ryan Ledson. Ross Barkley (knee) and Arouna Kone, recently back involved after a long-term knee injury, are also absentees.
