Everton lose loanee Traore to hamstring injury

Everton's forward Lacina Traore is set to be out for several weeks with a hamstring injury, says boss Roberto Martinez. The on-loan Ivory Coast international reported a problem during the warm-up ahead of Saturday's defeat at Chelsea and was immediately withdrawn from the starting line-up.

"Obviously with this sort of injury it is normally weeks rather than months," Martinez tells City Talk 105.9.

"The type of player Lacina is, a sprinter, means these sort of injuries need to be well recovered."
