Everton midfielder Tim Cahill is a doubt for Saturday's game
against Manchester United after suffering an injury against
Sporting Lisbon.
Cahill, who set up Steven Pienaar for the opening goal in
Tuesday's Europa League win, was replaced just after the hour mark
at Goodison Park.
He picked up a calf complaint and David Moyes is waiting to
learn the extent of the Australian's injury ahead of United's visit
on Saturday.
"Cahill may have a calf strain, we're not sure of the
severity yet," said Moyes.
Meanwhile, Toffees skipper Phil Neville has expressed his
disappointment with his team's performance in the 2-1 success over
Sporting in the first leg of the last 32 tie.
Pienaar and Sylvain Distin put Everton 2-0 up before the
French defender was sent off late for conceding a penalty, which
was converted by Miguel Veloso.
Neville said: "It was a flat performance. We were not at the
same level as in the last couple of weeks and we did not pass the
ball well enough.
"In Europe, you have to take a victory when it comes along,
but we are definitely going to have to lift it for the second leg
or we will be out of the competition.
"You think everything is going all right, then one bad
mistake gives them an away goal and they leave with their tails up.
"We are so disappointed, but it is a lesson for how you have
to keep your concentration in Europe."
