Everton wait on Stubbs, Cahill

Everton are hoping captain Alan Stubbs and top scorer Tim Cahill will be fit for their crucial home match against Newcastle as they continue their battle for a place in next season’s Champions League.

Stubbs has been fighting to recover from a shoulder injury and is now back in training, while Cahill has been under intensive treatment all week with a back problem. A late decision will be made on both players’ fitness.
