Cahill misses Chelsea clash

Everton midfielder Tim Cahill is suspended for tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

The Australia international accumulated his fifth booking of the season in last weekend’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham and so must serve a one-match ban.

Manager David Moyes still has defensive problems with centre-half Joseph Yobo ruled out for four weeks with a hamstring problem.

That means full-back Tony Hibbert is likely to continue to deputise alongside Johnny Heitinga, who returns after suspension.

Provisional squad: Howard, Yobo, Baines, Hibbert, Cahill, Gosling, Rodwell, Bilyaletdinov, Fellaini, Pienaar, Saha, Yakubu, Neill, Nash, Jo, Baxter, Agard, Wallace, Duffy, Coleman.
