Romelu Lukaku is set to be fit for Everton's Premier League home game against Burnley on Saturday, manager Roberto Martinez says.
Lukaku, 21, has missed his club's last two matches with a hamstring problem sustained during a 2-1 win at QPR on March 22.
The Belgium striker, Everton's top scorer this season with 18 goals, was forced to pull out of the Belgium squad who beat Cyprus and Israel in Euro 2016 qualifiers during the last international break.
Martinez decided against risking the forward as Everton drew 1-1 at Swansea last Saturday, but says he "expects" him to be fit for the visit of Burnley.
The manager gave the update on Lukaku's fitness during a briefing with local media on Tuesday, saying: "Rom is training today with the group and I would expect him to be fully fit for Saturday.
"Last Saturday he wanted to be involved but it was a real risk in terms of where the injury was. But he's been working really well with the medical department and probably now we've got the green light to allow him to join the group.
"If he trains and doesn't get any reaction over the next few days then clearly he will be fully fit and available for the next six games, which is exactly what we want."
Great session outside with the team! Getting ready for the weekend at the Goodison! Can't wait. Have a good day and God bless

Lukaku had indicated on Monday that he was close to a return, by posting a video of himself on Instagram scoring a goal in training.
The striker's new agent Mino Raiola said earlier this month that Lukaku is a better striker than Diego Costa and added: "If we'd met earlier, he wouldn't have signed for Everton."
Meanwhile, Toffees midfielder Leon Osman is a doubt for the Burnley game after suffering a muscle injury during the first half at Swansea, but Martinez is hopeful that he could be available.
Osman returned to action in late February after more than two months out with a split tendon in his foot.
Martinez added: "We're going to give him treatment over the next few days and see how he reacts, and then maybe on Friday we'll make a final decision. But it's not as bad as we thought at the beginning and that helps."
