Hide AdJakupovic, 37, was a free agent after being released by Leicester City following five years at the King Power Stadium.
He’s also represented the likes of Hull City, Lokomotiv Moscow and Grasshoppers Zurich in the past.
Jakupovic provides cover after No.1 keeper Pickford suffered a thigh injury and won’t be available until after the international break.
Lonergan, who is third-choice stopper, is sidelined with a knee injury.
Everton play West Ham United at Goodison Park on Sunday and it means Asmir Begovic will be between the posts.
