Joel Robles has helped Everton FC keep three successive clean sheets for the first time in more than a year.

But manager Roberto Martinez has warned the young Spaniard that he will have to make way for first choice Tim Howard some time soon.

“I thought Joel did very well the last three games,” said the Blues boss.

“Crystal Palace was probably the most challenging game because there were a lot of balls in the box.

“Against Liverpool he was composed, he was calm. It’s important that we have players performing well.

“Tim at the moment is the number one and whenever he is fit he needs to lose that position.

“Medically he probably needs another week but he has been training the last two days and feels that he is ready.

“I wouldn’t say one way or the other but he is very very close and Tim is the number one and then it’s just down to the competition from Joel and it’s great to see Joel performing the way he has done.”
