Yobo a doubt for Toffees

Everton defender Joseph Yobo is a doubt for Sunday’s visit of Stoke after he missed the Europa League victory over BATE Borisov with a thigh injury.

Midfielders Jack Rodwell (illness) and Steven Pienaar (knee) did not travel to Belarus but manager David Moyes is hopeful both will recover in time to face the Potters.

Defenders John Heitinga and Lucas Neill, ineligible against Borisov, and Louis Saha, serving a European suspension, all return.

Provisional squad: Howard, Yobo, Baines, Distin, Hibbert, Heitinga, Neill, Cahill, Rodwell, Pienaar, Osman, Yakubu, Jo, Fellaini, Nash, Bilyaletdinov, Gosling.
