Ross Barkley Makes Everton Europa League Squad

Ross Barkley has been named in Everton's Europa League squad despite injury and uncertainty over his future. Barkley is inside the final year of his Everton contract and rejected a deadline-day move to Chelsea after a fee had been agreed.
The England midfielder had groin surgery in the summer and has since suffered a torn hamstring likely to keep him out for a further month but his name has been included in Everton's list for the group stage of the Europa League, in which they face Atalanta, Lyon and Apollon Limassol between now and Christmas.

Seamus Coleman is also named along with recent arrival Nikola Vlasic, who played against Everton for Hajduk Split in the play-off round.
