Everton midfielder Darron Gibson will be out for another two to three weeks with a thigh strain, manager David Moyes has confirmed.
The 24-year-old sustained the injury in the Toffees’ 2-0 defeat by West Brom on 1 September.
Gibson recently ruled himself out of selection for the Republic of Ireland’s World Cup qualifying campaign.
The player told boss Giovanni Trapattoni he was disappointed with his limited role during Euro 2012.
Moyes reported no other problems from players coming back from the international break ahead of Monday’s visit of Newcastle.
