The Blues midfielder suffered a slight knock in training ahead of his country’s Euro 2016 qualifiers with Gibraltar and Georgia.

McCarthy is said to be relaxed about the problem but O’Neill says the Blues wanted to make sure the injury was not serious and so asked for tests to be carried out.

“I was speaking to Alan (Byrne, Irish team doctor) and more importantly the player (McCarthy), and the player’s not too concerned, so that’s OK,” said O’Neill.

“I think it’s something Everton wanted to do so, fine, we’ll fall into line and go with it."

Sounds like it's nothing and we want an excuse for him not to play.
 
He has been poor recently, maybe a break from the team and someone else coming in and challenging him would help him get back to his best.
