The Everton manager, however, refused to be drawn on Howard’s long-term plans should his relationship with supporters come under further strain. Howard is under contract at Everton until 2018 having been awarded a four-year extension in Martínez’s first season at the club. But the manager admitted there is doubt over the keeper’s intentions beyond this summer.

“It is impossible to say that,” said Martínez when asked if Howard would be at Everton next season. “We need to take it game by game and week by week. I want Tim to feel stronger in every game. Watching him in training I don’t see a sign of weakness or him being worn down or tired. It is the opposite. He is up for the challenge, up for helping the team and keeping up standards. I’m sure every experience will affect what you want to do in the summer.

“We shouldn’t look that far away. We are here with a real focus of winning on Wednesday. That is all that matters. We have a incredible squad, a group of players here that I’m excited about and I’m looking forward to seeing them develop and Tim Howard is a big part of that. Whatever happens at the end of the season you cannot guess it now and it would be wrong to try to guess that.”
