Everton defender Phil Jagielka says Royston Drenthe's flair is crucial.

Drenthe is struggling for fitness this week.

"Hopefully he can be fit enough to play some part in the next two games," said the stand in skipper on evertonfc.com.

"He gives us that bit of flair and spark so hopefully he can play a big part and score a couple or set up a couple over the next couple of weeks.

"It's hard to know where he is going to pop up but we need that unpredictability because sometimes it's been a bit too easy to mark us. Offensively he adds a massive threat with his ability, his pace and his shooting."
