Should face Saudi Arabia
Gueye (undisclosed) is expected to be an option for Tuesday's friendly against Saudi Arabia after fully recovering, according to Wiw Sport.
Analysis: Gueye is back in the mix for Senegal after returning to full training last week, as the midfielder has now been deemed fully recovered. This will lead to his return in the final preparation match heading into the World Cup, facing Saudi Arabia on Tuesday. He will hope to start but may be used cautiously, not forcing anything, just ahead of the tournament. He is set to start in the midfield as Senegal prepares for the closest thing this World Cup has to a group of death, a major addition for the team.
Remains out for final game
Gueye (undisclosed) is ruled out for Sunday's season finale against Tottenham.
Analysis: Gueye has been unable to earn a place in the matchday squad despite manager David Moyes giving him a 50/50 chance of featuring following three consecutive absences, with the undisclosed issue proving too significant to overcome in time for the final fixture of the campaign. The Senegalese midfielder had been on the grass but was not yet training with the team earlier in the week, and the club ultimately decided against rushing him back before he is fully ready. Gueye will now focus on the World Cup with Senegal and end the season with the Toffees contributing two goals, three assists, 43 tackles, 28 interceptions and 24 clearances in 25 starts.
