Everton manager David Moyes does not expect to have any of his injured players back for tomorrow’s visit of Blackburn.

Centre-backs Phil Jagielka (knee) and Sylvain Distin (hamstring) are missing while fellow defender Tony Hibbert (groin) has been out for some time, which means the Republic of Ireland's Shane Duffy is likely to continue alongside John Heitinga in the middle of the back four.

In midfield, Seamus Coleman (thigh) also of the Republic of Ireland, Leon Osman (knee) and Jack Rodwell (hamstring) have all sat out recent games.

Provisional squad: Howard, Heitinga, Baines, Duffy, Neville, Gibson, Bilyaletdinov, Cahill, Drenthe, Fellaini, Saha, Donovan, Mucha, Anichebe, Stracqualursi, McFadden, Gueye, Vellios.
