Everton nurse St Stephen's Day bruises

Everton are counting the cost of the 2-1 home win over Manchester City on St Stephen's Day – which kept them in third spot in the Premiership – as they prepare to face Charlton at The Valley.

Key midfielder Thomas Gravesen picked up an ankle injury while match-winner Marcus Bent has a bruised shin after the tackle which saw Christian Negouai red carded.

Everton will still be without Leon Osman as he recovers from a knee problem.

Provisional squad: Martyn, Hibbert, Weir, Stubbs, Pistone, Watson, Carsley, Gravesen, Kilbane, Cahill, Bent, Ferguson, Campbell, Wright, McFadden, Naysmith, Yobo, Naysmith, Wright.
