Phil Jagielka injury against Man City 460
“He has ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament and will undergo surgery in around 10 days time when the swelling has gone down. It’s too early to estimate a return to action for the player.”
Since moving to Goodison in July 2007, Jagielka has become a firm favourite with supporters and made the £4m it took to sign him from Sheffield United look a bargain.
After last week’s win at Wembley, the 26-year-old had spoken about how much he felt at home with the Blues.
“I came here for days like this and absolutely love it here,” he said.
“I had a fabulous time with Sheffield United but the time was right to move on.
“It didn’t go great for me early on but, two years down the line, I’ve had three England caps, a semi-final in the League Cup, won a semi-final in the FA Cup, I’ve scored goals in Europe; It’s just been a fantastic career move and Everton‘s the only club for me.”
