New Linderoth Injury

Tobias Linderoth suffered another disappointing blow to his stop-start Everton season when he limped out of the reserves¡¦ 1-1 draw with West Bromwich Albion.

The Swede sustained a hamstring injury after 71 minutes at the Halton Stadium but thankfully it is not a recurrence of the problem that troubled him earlier in the season.

Everton¡¦s medical team will make a full assessment on Wednesday morning in the hope that the injury won¡¦t sideline him for any length of time.

Linderoth has played in the last three reserve games following four months out with knee and hamstring problems and was targeting a return to the first team squad for Saturday¡¦s game with West Ham United.
