Toffees in a sticky situation

Everton manager David Moyes admits the loss of key midfielder Darron Gibson gives him a problem for the next few weeks.

The former Manchester United man sustained a thigh injury in the Toffees’ defeat at West Brom, their last Premier match.

And with Moyes having let highly-rated young midfielder Ross Barkley go on a month’s loan to Sheffield Wednesday he admits his squad is slightly stretched ahead of Monday’s visit of Newcastle.
