Phil Jagielka is set to remain on the sidelines as Everton get set to take on Arsenal in the FA Cup quarter-final this weekend.
The Toffees head to the Emirates for the final eight clash with the Gunners but their skipper and key centre-back will again be absent as he continues to recover from the hamstring injury that has troubled him since Boxing Day.
Jagielka has not featured for the Toffees since the February 22 loss at Chelsea and it is doubtful that he will get up for the trip to north London on Saturday.
"It is very unlikely Phil Jagielka will be involved. If the game was tomorrow (Friday) he wouldn't be available," said manager Roberto Martinez.
