Why isn't Oumar Niasse in the Everton squad to face Apollon?

Ronald Koeman was not able to play Oumar Niasse in tonight's match whether he wanted to or not.

The striker was not selected in Everton's 25-man Europa League squad when it was submitted in August.

As a result, he will not be able to play in any of the Toffees' fixtures in the competition until January.
