Everton manager Roberto Martinez has revealed that on-loan midfielder Gerard Deulofeu could be on the sidelines for five weeks with a hamstring injury.
The 19-year-old, who arrived at Goodison Park on a season-long loan from Barcelona in the summer, suffered the problem during Everton's 4-1 win over Fulham last Saturday.
While the club confirmed yesterday that the injury blow would put Deulofeu out for a "few weeks", Martinez has stated in a press conference today that five weeks is a likely layoff time.
The Spaniard has found the net twice in the Premier League since arriving on Merseyside.
