Wayne Rooney missed Everton's 0-0 draw with Chelsea through illness.
The Toffees captain has been suffering from flu but his absence did not appear to hinder Sam Allardyce's side.
He later tweeted: "Gutted to miss the game today through illness but well done to the lads on a good point and another clean sheet."
Rooney has enjoyed a renaissance this season, scoring 10 Premier League goals already.
Those goals have come in just 16 appearances, the fastest pace to double figures in the league since 2011/12.
