String of injury woes for Moyes

Everton boss David Moyes has a string of injury worries ahead of Sunday’s Barclays Premier League game at Tottenham.

Full-backs Tony Hibbert (thigh strain) and Nuno Valente (knee operation) miss out, while young striker James Vaughan has gone to Colorado for a cartilage operation and will be out until the new year.

Strikers Victor Anichebe and Louis Saha have hamstring problems, while Steven Pienaar has not trained for a fortnight with a knee problem.

Provisional squad: Howard, Neville, Lescott, Yobo, Jagielka, Baines, Arteta, Osman, Cahill, Fellaini, Yakubu, Saha, Anichebe, Nash, Castillo, Rodwell, Gosling, Jutkiewicz, Baxter.
