Yobo boost for Toffees

DAVID MOYES hopes to solve Everton's defensive problems with Nigerian defender Joseph Yobo stepping up his fitness bid.

The Scot was furious at how his side conceded three goals against Aston Villa over the weekend in the 3-2 defeat and if 21-year-old Yobo can prove his fitness, he could be drafted in for the weekend match with Fulham.

"We will be working hard on eliminating the simple individual mistakes which are costing us dearly," said Moyes.

The African defender will feature for the reserves on Tuesday night with Nick Chadwick, Duncan Ferguson, Steve Watson and Li Weifeng also having chances to stake their claim for a first team recall.
