Everton manager David Moyes has admitted he does not know if his side will be able to cope without the suspended Marouane Fellaini over Christmas.

Moyes added: "We needed him. This is a busy time where you pick up injuries and suspensions. Things will happen - you may get a sending off.

'Got it wrong'

"He is a good boy, a good lad. [But] he is aware that he has got it wrong." Moyes is also sweating over the availability of another Belgian, winger Kevin Mirallas. The 25-year-old has travelled to Germany for a consultation on a recurring hamstring problem and the Everton boss admits he is concerned about his £6m signing's long-term fitness. "I am worried, yes, especially when you are a quick, fleet-footed player like he is," he said. "What we are trying to do is find a way of getting people back quicker, but sometimes with these injuries, you have to give them a bit of time and TLC."
