Trio out for Toffees

Everton will be without three key players when they open their season at home to Wigan in the Barclays Premier League.

Tim Cahill is suffering from a recurrence of his broken metatarsal, new boy Leighton Baines has a hamstring strain while young striker James Vaughan is sidelined until November with a dislocated shoulder.

It leaves manager David Moyes with an already stretched squad, although £4m new signing Phil Jagielka will make his league debut for the Toffees, while on-loan midfielder Steve Pienaar is also in the squad.

Team (from): Howard, Hibbert, Valente, Stubbs, Yobo, Lescott, De Silva, Carsley, Arteta, Osman, Johnson, Anichebe, Ruddy, Boyle, Pienaar, Neville, Van der Meyde, Jutiewicz.
