Everton have announced that the hamstring injury suffered by Leighton Baines isn't as serious as first feared.

The 29-year-old left-back yesterday had to pull out of the England squad for today's Euro 2016 qualifier against Slovenia and Tuesday's friendly against Scotland after injuring himself in training with the national team.

Everton said on their website today that Baines had suffered a grade one hamstring tear and could be available to face West Ham United in the Premier League next Saturday.

Baines has played every minute in the league for the Toffees so far this season, scoring twice.
