[GoatJR]

Everton star, Marouane Fellaini, has been sidelined for three weeks due to a minor knee injury.

The Belgium International took a knock during the Toffees Premier League game against Wigan Athletic on Saturday at the DW Stadium.

His Knee will explode (Barkley style) if he gets on a plane in the next 4 days.

Team v QPR I'd go for:

Howard

Hibbert - Jagielka - Heitinga - Baines

Coleman - Gibson - Osman - Pienaar

Mirallas

Jelavic

Bring Anichebe and Naysmith on at some point.

^The Story From The Link^

Marouane Fellaini is returning to Everton for further assessment of his knee injury.

Fellaini picked up a knock during the 2-2 draw with Wigan Athletic last weekend and although he managed to complete the game, the significance of his injury only became apparent 48 hours later.

He was withdrawn from the World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Scotland and had the injury scanned in Belgium.

The Blues medical team have reviewed his scans and will assess him fully when he returns to Finch Farm on Monday.

Talk about 3 weeks is speculation then.
Won't be suprised if this isn't nothing but a nasty knock.
I'm living in a nice fluffy bubble of denial and I'm sure he will be available for the derby

Between this news and LD's injury for the USMNT, I'm angst ridden today.

We need another DM in January for situations like these.

American media is reporting Fellaini is out for three weeks.

Sounds like a catalouge of errors, he picke up an injury at the DW, reported for international duty - trained normally with the Belgs, aggravated the injury - gone for most of October.

Seriously someone in L4 needs to practice their Belgian or vice versa. Not good enough.

How you can consider playing Heitinga at QPR baffles me. Even Moyes could see how off the pace he was against Wigan, and Zamora would have him for breakfast.Distin should be our FIRST CHOICE centre back based on ability, pace, and anything else you care to mention.

Completed back passes to opposition forwards?

Not sure why you're trying to place blame on Everton or anybody else, seems like he's picked up an injury but felt fine post match, then when he's gone and actually done some intensive training for the first time he's felt some pain and they've discovered the damage he's done.

Happens all the time with sports injuries, you don't feel the effect until you actually put your body through it's paces.

he's saved us far more times than he cost us during his everton career, sadly for him and us it was against the ****e last time, we were going to lose that game due to our defensive nature anyway though. heitinga should have started the season because he was brilliant last season but he hasn't taken his chance this season and will probably be dropped for QPR. we're just lucky we have 3 great CB's and can rotate, sadly the jags/heitinga partnership doesn't work.

on topic - felli is boss and even on one leg i would play him against liverpool, he's that good he'll spunk all over their centre midfield. pace isn't a massive part of his game and he doesn't need to run if he's target man. scores with his head not his kness, just jog into the right areas and hold it up as good as ever

Mightn't be too bad..

Fellaini told evertonfc.com: "As you have probably seen and heard I am currently suffering from a knee injury. Fortunately is is not too serious but I will have to miss the two games with Belgium.

"I am hoping to be back playing for Everton as soon as possible.

"I am extremely disappointed and I now have to rest in order to get back to full fitness so I can help the team with some important games coming up."

Could be a blessing in disguise. Misses the QPR game swerving his 5th booking of the season to then be available for the derby all fit and fresh. Here’s hoping!

Reckon so mate.

Nice rest instead of getting hoofed in the Belguim games. Slot Heits into midfiled for QPR then let the big man dominate the derby
