Leon Osman's winner at Macclesfield 320

Moyes hinted yesterday that Joseph Yobo is likely to be available for the forthcoming double header with Liverpool after being sidelined since limping off with a hamstring strain during the goalless draw with Chelsea last month.

However, the Goodison manager reiterated Louis Saha could be out until mid-February as he recovers from his own hamstring complaint.

“Joseph Yobo I don’t think will be too far away but Louis Saha is probably another four or five weeks away,” said Moyes.

“Other than the long-term ones, we don’t actually have that many injuries.”

Moyes also revealed there remained an outside chance James Vaughan could return before the end of the season.
