Everton boss Roberto Martinez has discussed the absence of Johnny Heitinga.
The Dutch international defender has made just two appearances under Martinez.
"At the moment John has got a bit of a problem," he said. "He's got a worry in his groin and we're checking that and making sure it's not a major problem. I know the fans haven't seen him on the pitch much but he's been very influential.
"He has a major role behind the scenes in training and helps the youngsters with his experience. All I'm hoping now is to see how he recovers and how quickly he can be fully fit."
