The influential Belgium midfielder may be sidelined for up to six months. Fellaini had been in excellent form prior to picking up the injury following a challenge with Liverpool's Sotirios Kyrgiakos in the Merseyside derby earlier this month. Toffees boss David Moyes admits the 22-year-old is not in a good way after comparing the injury to the one picked up by Arsenal's Robin van Persie earlier this season. "He's not good," Moyes told the club's official website. "He's going to have an operation. He's got a similar injury to Robin van Persie and it's probably going to keep him out for six months."
