Everton duo Louis Saha and Jack Rodwell look set to miss the FA Cup fourth round replay clash with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Louis Saha is still nursing a hamstring injury while Jack Rodwell is unlikely to play despite making a swift return from a groin injury.
Speaking to reporters, Everton boss David Moyes said: “I don't think Louis Saha has a chance. We've said at the time it will be 10-14 days and we're sticking by that, I think that will be the case.”
“Jack Rodwell's done great, he's made great strides to be fit but I think it will come too quickly for him but he's done well and hopefully he'll be available next week,” Moyes added.
David Moyes is aware that Chelsea travel to Denmark three days after the match against Everton to take FC Copenhagen in the Champions League. Nonetheless, Moyes hopes that Chelsea will be more worried about that tie in Copenhagen so that his team will be able to take advantage of it and win the clash at Stamford Bridge.
Moyes added: “You can see the quality from most of the games people have seen this week. Chelsea will want to be in there with those teams, certainly wanting to get to the final stages.
“I'm hoping that they've got that in mind and hoping that they are thinking about that more than my game."
