Everton boss Ronald Koeman frustrated by double injury blow

Everton boss Ronald Koeman had mixed emotions after victory over West Brom.

Koeman's spirits were only dampened by two bits of disappointing injury news, James McCarthy's latest hamstring-related setback and Leighton Baines' enforced withdrawal at half-time.

"Leighton had a problem with his back, he couldn't move any more that was the reason we had to change," he explained.

"And James again has some problems on his hamstring. It happened in the beginning of last week, that is really painful for the boy and also for me, because I like him.

"It is not a big hamstring, maybe one or two weeks, but I am really disappointed."
