Everton must cope with loss of midfielder Gibson

Everton midfielder Darron Gibson will be out for four to five weeks with a thigh strain. Toffees boss David Moyes, explained: "Darron's got a thigh strain and will probably be out for four to five weeks.

"He's had two weeks now so hopefully we are a couple of weeks down the line already because of the international break so he may have only a couple of weeks to miss.

"It is a concern for me because he has been very consistent and very good.

"It is a blow but we will have to find ways of getting around it.

"The Ross Barkley situation leaves us a bit tight in certain areas but I've taken that decision."
