Everton youngster Tyler Onyango has been undergoing extra training on orders of manager Rafa Benitez.
The midfielder was handed his Premier League debut in the closing stages of the Blues' 3-0 defeat to Man City at the Etihad on Sunday afternoon, coming on for Allan in added time.
That was the teenager's second substitute appearance for the first-team having been given his first at the beginning of the year in January's win over Sheffield Wednesday at Goodison Park.
Onyango told evertonfc.com: “A Premier League debut is what you dream about as a kid and to finally get on the pitch was class.
“I was made up, all through my rehab, all I was thinking about was getting back on the pitch and around the first-team. To actually do it is brilliant, better than I could have imagined."
The midfielder has opened up on the simple message the manager gave him ahead of his appearance last weekend, and confirmed some extra work the boss has made sure to give him.
“The manager told me to just enjoy it," he added.
"He has been amazing with me, I trained properly with the first-team during the international break and straight away he was giving me bits of advice, asking me what I think are the biggest weaknesses in my game and looking to improve them.
“He stayed out after training going through extra bits with me. He is a great coach and already trying to add things to my game.
“I am feeling good, match-fit. Monday was my seventh game after injury and I am getting fitter and sharper."
