Everton striker Nikica Jelavic has admitted that he is feeling 'frustrated' with his current injury situation.
The Croatian, who moved to Goodison Park from Rangers last month, is suffering from athletic pubalgia, an inflammation of the pubic bone.
The 26-year-old may need groin surgery to fix the problem.
"It's frustrating for me, believe me," he told the club's official website. "But I'll keep fighting and I'm hoping in a couple of days I can be ready for training.
"It's a good thing for me that we have a two-week break after the cup so I can prepare myself well and be on the pitch and showing what I can do."
Jerlavic will miss the Toffees' FA Cup fifth-round tie at home to Blackpool on Saturday.
