Yak 50/50 For Boro

Everton's head physio Mick Rathbone has given Yakubu a 50/50 chance of playing against former club Middlesbrough on Sunday.

Mick Rathbone: "Yak has had a badly bruised heel for three or four weeks and we’ve sort of kept it going, but we knew eventually he would have to miss a game.

"He’s been doing some light training today and having missed the game against West Ham he feels a lot better now. He has a 50/50 chance of playing."
