Everton manager Roberto Martinez is still waiting to find out the full extent of midfielder Tom Cleverley's injury.
Cleverley, a summer signing from Manchester United, was carried off on a stretcher during the first half of Sunday's goalless draw with Tottenham at White Hart Lane after a challenge from Eric Dier.
He was initially feared to have sustained a fracture to his right ankle, but although Martinez revealed that is not the case, he confirmed the 26-year-old has suffered ankle ligament damage and is unsure how long he will be out.
"We have mixed feelings because we feared the worst when that challenge happened," he told the club's official website.
"We thought that it was a fracture and to have a fracture at this stage of the season for Tom would have been devastating because his form has been terrific.
"He has got ligament damage and the next step will be to see how long he is going to be out.
"It's an injury we need to try and recover as quickly as we can but clearly it's good news from when we saw Tom falling to the ground at White Hart Lane."
