Leandro Rodriguez is in line to make his Everton debut against Reading in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday.

The Toffees signed the 22-year-old striker from River Plate in the summer and Roberto Martinez has been impressed with his two appearances for the club’s under-21s side.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Martinez said: “He will be involved in the squad. Then it will just be down to the needs of the game and how everything goes if we see Leandro or not.

“I have been very impressed, not just in training but with the under-21s as well.

“He has scored in both games and showed an incredible street footballer’s way of playing the game, which has helped him.”
