Everton midfielder Tim Cahill looks likely to miss the rest of the season after suffering a reoccurrence of a long-standing foot injury.
Cahill was forced to leave the field after just 10 minutes in last Saturday's 1-1 draw against West Ham United.
The attacking midfielder then missed Australia's midweek international China.
And there are now fears that Cahill has aggravated a metatarsal fracture he suffered last March.
The 28-year-old has been in impressive form since he returned from his troublesome injury last November, netting 10 goals for David Moyes' side.
But Cahill is now set to miss the rest of the campaign, starting with the Toffees' key clash against rivals Liverpool.

"Shame for Cahill as yet again he has had an excellent season and is along with Arteta the spark behind a hard working team. It is good news for us in terms of Sunday's game as he is a hell of a difficult player to pick up. "
