Leighton Baines

[stamullenblue]

Leighton Baines will be assessed ahead of Wednesday's Premier League game at Chelsea. The Everton left-back was missing from Saturday's squad for the Merseyside derby despite a late fitness test on a knee injury. Speaking after the 0-0 draw, Martinez said: "It was a disappointment. As you can imagine, Leighton did not want to miss the game for anything and we tried everything to get him fit.

"But the knee wouldn’t settle and we had a fitness test this morning which showed he wasn’t 100 per cent to play. "I don’t know about Wednesday [against Chelsea]. I don’t think it is a long-term problem and I think he could be available – if the game was a week away, I would definitely feel that he would be ready.

Another absentee from the teamsheet to face Liverpool was Aiden McGeady.

"Aiden had a knock in training and has a bruised bone in the knee," Martinez explained. "I think he will be a little bit longer than Wednesday, even though it is not a serious problem."

I guess you haven't been convinced by @Prevenger17 's pie charts about McGeady's effectiveness in helping the team to play well

Ha ha. No .. Seen mcgeady in real time ... Poor player who in my opinion is pretending to be a footballer .. Hopefully Lennon and atsu will keep him on bench now

I'm on team McGeady but I'm also on team PoP so used to fighting lost causes and my sanity questioned

lol

no

People really not getting these pie charts. We win more with McGeady in the team, it's a verifiable fact.

I'm glad you're Team Geads, but your stance on PoP is, frankly, disgusting and unacceptable.

@davek and the #Plotters have made me distrust pie charts.

Sorry.

One day you will see the light and regret your hate filled comments
