Everton have been dealt a fresh injury blow with Steven Pienaar being ruled out of today’s game with a groin injury.

Steven confirmed on his twitter site that he will be out for 2-4 weeks meaning he is unlikely to be fit for the Merseyside Derby after the international break. This is terrible news for the club and fans as Pienaar was one of the better players against Fulham.

Pienaar said: “It looks like In the end I’ll be out injured for about 2-4 weeks with a groin injury. I hope shake this injury off quickly!”.

Pienaar joins long term absentees Louis Saha, Victor Anichebe and Jack Rodwell on the injury list whilst Tim Cahill has been struggling with a knee injury and is unlikely to feature today.
