'Bolasie loss an opportunity for others'

Ronald Koeman has urged his Everton attackers to step up in the absence of injured Yannick Bolasie, who may miss the rest of the season with knee-ligament damage. 

“It’s a big loss for everybody," Koeman told evertonfc.com. “But it is an opportunity for other players who maybe have not played a lot in the last few weeks.

"We know we need competition, we need a big squad and it’s a big month coming up with a lot of games.

“I expect more from Ross Barkley but I expect more from other players offensively. The reaction he needs to show on the training pitch. That’s the best way."
