Jarrad Branthwaite is unlikely to feature again this season due to a hamstring injury and Everton fans are keen to see him recover fully ready for next season.
The 23-year-old missed a lengthy period from August to January with a hamstring complaint and was carried off in Sunday's Merseyside derby defeat to Liverpool.
Speaking on BBC Radio Merseyside, Everton fan, Courtney said: "He's been playing catch-up with the rest of the team, so I think they've given him the rest of the season off then see where he's at. It's a hamstring injury. Everyone famously goes back to Michael Owen for Liverpool. He was never the same player after that. You have to treat it properly and get it right."
The Paddock Blues Podcast host Paul Brown added: "He came back so seamlessly, he didn't look like he was unfit or struggling to keep up with everyone."
Courtney replied: "He's a Rolls-Royce of a footballer, I thought he was fantastic against Liverpool. I think he made a better effort than the others. I thought he was fantastic, I really did."
