Lescott and Adebayor miss out on Everton tie

Defender Joleon Lescott has been ruled out for up to five weeks with a hamstring problem and so will not face former club Everton at Eastlands in the Premier League tomorrow.

The England international was injured in the warm-up at Fulham at the weekend and his replacement at left-back then, Javier Garrido, is expected to keep his place with first-choice Wayne Bridge sidelined after a hernia operation.
