Everton defender Phil Jagielka set to return from knee injury in FA Cup third round
Phil Jagielka has missed two months of the season with a knee injury
Everton captain is set to return against Dagenham and RedbridgeDefender will not feature in the Premier League clash against Tottenham
Everton captain Phil Jagielka is set to make his comeback against Dagenham and Redbridge in the FA Cup third round a week on Saturday.
The England centre-back has been out of action since suffering a knee injury against Arsenal at the end of October.
Everton's defence has wobbled without his experience, conceding seven goals to Leicester and Stoke in the club's last two home matches.
Manager Roberto Martinez is reluctant to rush back the 33-year-old, suggesting that Sunday's Premier League home game against Tottenham and next Wednesday's Capital One Cup semi-final first leg against Manchester City might come too soon for him.
But he believes that Jagielka is close to being fit enough to play again.
Martinez said: 'The next three days are very important for Phil Jagielka. This weekend will be too early, but he will be involved within the next three games.
'If it's not Spurs or Manchester City, it will be in the FA Cup third round. I would say in the next seven to 10 days.

Lets hope he breaks the recent hoodoo on returning players when he does make his comeback.

We need him back pronto, but he needs to be fully fit.

Yeah. After what happened with Kompany last weekend, I want Jags to be OK before he gets back in the side.
Any chance Jags starts today? People suggesting it on twitter
We really miss him.

I'd have him on now given the way this current centre back pairing have played in recent times...
Mad how no one is really praising him tonight. We are so much better as a defensive unit when he's out there. My man of the match anyway, and it's great to have him back and looking solid as ever
