Everton boss Moyes assures skipper Neville of first team return

Everton boss David Moyes has assured captain Phil Neville he will soon be back in his starting line-up.

While Moyes was clearly enthused by Tony Hibbert's display in victory over Wigan Athletic, he also reserved praise for Neville's consummate professionalism.

"Phil will always play for me," the Everton boss told evertonfc.com. "Just look at him, his attitude was spot on. He was rallying the troops, he was the loudest in the dressing room - which he is anyway - but he was at it again. He knows his chance will come again, he is not daft, and he would also be the first to acknowledge that Tony Hibbert is playing well."
