David Moyes admitted he is ‘worried’ about Jarrad Branthwaite’s injury after Everton’s loss to Liverpool in the Merseyside derby.
The defender was forced off in the second half of the Hill Dickinson Stadium encounter. Branthwaite missed the first half of the season with a hamstring injury that required surgery.
The centre-back appeared to sustain a recurrence of his setback and had to be substituted in the 87th minute. When asked if he had an update on Branthwaite, Everton boss Moyes said at his post-match press conference: No, but I’m worried but we have not got any results.”
Speaking to Sky Sports, Moyes added: "It doesn't look great, it caused problems because we had already made a couple of subs so we were down to our last one. Jarrad was head and shoulders above anyone else on the pitch, I thought he played so well."
