Ramiro Funes Mori has become somewhat of a forgotten man at Everton due to his injury troubles.

The defender has not played for the club since March last year because of a serious knee problem.

The Argentine is edging closer to fitness, but he will have the big task of trying to break into Sam Allardyce's team.

Phil Jagielka, Ashley Williams, Mason Holgate and Michael Keane are among the centre-backs vying for places.

Funes Mori, who can also operate at left-back, has outlined his plan for a comeback and has admitted that he has one eye on the World Cup.

In order to be selected by Argentina for the trip to Russia, the defender will need to be fit and on top form.

With less than five months until the season comes to an end, the 26-year-old will need to ramp up his recovery.

After hearing from the defender for the first time in a while, Everton fans tweeted their thoughts on his comments.
