Everton midfielder Alex Iwobi is set to be out for three weeks after sustaining an ankle ligament injury in Friday night's FA Cup defeat by Manchester United.
Everton confirmed the news following a scan and said Iwobi's injury will be "managed conservatively" by their medical team.
Iwobi was taken off on a stretcher early in the second half at Old Trafford after being caught in a challenge by Tyrell Malacia.
The news will come as a blow to Blues boss Frank Lampard, who has started the Nigerian in all but one of the club's 21 games in all competitions this season.
