Louis Saha is facing a further three weeks on the Everton sidelines with a calf injury. The France international, the club's top goalscorer last season, has been out of action since the Toffees' defeat at Aston Villa four weeks ago.

The club hoped the 32-year-old would be back in action within a month but has not recovered as quickly as expected.

Toffees boss David Moyes said: "He goes to a facility in France to get treatment and looked after and I think it will be two to three weeks before he is available."
