Gylfi Sigurdsson has estimated how much training he would need to be ready for Premier League football once again.
Carlo Ancelotti and his Everton squad began returning to USM Finch Farm on Wednesday after a unanimous vote to get back to training was confirmed on Monday.
For the first phase of the return, players will conduct small group training with no contact as the work towards "Project Restart" takes a significant step forward.
The Premier League has been suspended for two months, with this week marking the Everton squad's first appearance back at Finch Farm since March 12.
And Sigurdsson believes it's hard to tell when everyone might be fit for football to start again, but he has made an estimate based on himself.
He told Sky Sports : "Yeah give me a couple of weeks training with the boys and I'll be ready!
"I think it all depends on how long we're going to train with three, four or five players at a time. Until we're training with the full squad.
"I'm guessing somewhere around four weeks maybe? But I think everyone is different.
"Each player has their own problems with their bodies or injuries or stuff like that, but I've been lucky enough with injuries throughout my career. So I would say somewhere around four weeks."
"It's not come at the best time, with the new manager being there for a while we were used to what he wants and we were looking forward to the last nine game of the season.
"We wanted to finish strong, but we've still got those nine games left so hopefully we can come back into training and really finish strongly."
Before Premier League football was brought to a halt, Sigurdsson was adapting to a new role in the Everton squad.
Since the appointment of Duncan Ferguson on a temporary basis, the Blues have played a 4-4-2 system with seemingly no natural position for the Iceland international to fit in.
The 30-year-old has adapted to playing in central midfield over the course of the last few months, and believes he is getting used to the role.
"Of course I've played there for Iceland, but this is maybe a little bit different," he added.
"It's not my natural position, but I've played most of the games and I think have got used to playing in that position under the manager.
"It doesn't give me the chances to go forward as much as I'd like! But it's something different and I enjoy it."
Sigurdsson has made 26 league appearances for the Blues this term, bagging one goal and two assists.
