Everton's injury list is lengthier than Sean Dyche would like.
Already operating with a thin squad when everyone is available, the Toffees have several key players on the sidelines.
It's why a 0-0 stalemate at Fulham, followed by a 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur - courtesy of Jarrad Branthwaite's stoppage-time equaliser - could be regarded as a decent week. Everton may remain in the Premier League relegation zone, having been hit by a 10-point deduction and await news on their appeal, but they could prove crucial results come the end of the campaign.
Still, with a trip to champions Manchester City on Saturday, Dyche will be hoping some of his troops are again available. As things stand, here's a look at the current injury situation and who could be back at the Etihad Stadium.
