Everton’s record signing Marouane Fellaini has forced himself through the pain barrier to be part of the club’s FA Cup run and now wants a Wembley final as a reward.

Everton’s record signing Marouane Fellaini has forced himself through the pain barrier to be part of the club’s FA Cup run and now wants a Wembley final as a reward.

Fellaini has been nursed through recent matches as he struggles to cope with a fractured bone in his back.

Fellaini was only risked as a second-half substitute on Wednesday in the 0-0 draw at Blackburn, but is expected to start tomorrow’s quarter-final at home to Middlesbrough.

The Belgian said: “It would be fantastic to get to the final in my first season here, but we are not there yet. We cannot talk about victory.

“We have to concentrate on doing the right things on Sunday and make sure it happens.

“It is a very important game for us. But we are going to be at home and we will do all we can to get that victory – but being at home could be decisive.”
