Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed midfielder Allan has sustained a hamstring injury.

The Toffees have enjoyed a good week, defeating Chelsea and Leicester City.

But losing the Brazilian is a blow to Ancelotti and his team, with Allan being stretchered off late against Leicester.

Ancelotti told reporters: "Yes, he had the problem and we have to check in the next few days how long he has to be out. I hope he can recover soon.

"We have back Seamus Coleman. Andre Gomes replaced Allan really well today.

"Unfortunately in this period injuries will happen.

"We have a busy time with a lot of games and sometimes this can happen."
