Everton boss Roberto Martinez insists Ross Barkley's knee injury won't be the end of his season.
Martinez is confident Barkley's injury is not at the most serious end of the spectrum, categorically ruling out that it could last through the season.
"No, no, no," he said. "We're expecting the next set of scans on Wednesday or Thursday just to make sure there is not inflammation in the knee.
"We'll know exactly then but as I said medial ligament can go from six weeks to a longer period. In any case it's not an injury that should rule him out for the season."
