Duo Face Fitness Tests – News Archive – News – evertonfc.com – The Official Website of Everton Football Club
Everton have injury doubts over midfield duo Tim Cahill and Steven Pienaar ahead of Sunday's trip to Burnley.
But Blues boss David Moyes said he is hopeful Jack Rodwell, scorer of two goals in Thursday's 4-0 win over Sigma Olomouc, will recover from the twisted knee which saw him substituted in that game.
Cahill and Pienaar, who also made an early exit against the Czech outfit after receiving a kick to the foot, will have fitness tests ahead of the game at Turf Moor.
Moyes is still without striker Yakubu and other long-term absentees Mikel Arteta, Phil Jagielka and Victor Anichebe.
"We hope he [Rodwell] is going to be fit," Moyes told the media on Saturday. "We've got fitness doubts over Steven Pienaar and Tim Cahill as well, so both of them will have to have fitness tests before the game."
