Don't think I've seen this mentioned here. Apologies if I missed a previous post.

Everton lose on-loan Gerard Deulofeu for a month with hamstring tear
• Deulofeu to miss at least four matches for Everton
• Roberto Martínez had feared injury was worse
Everton will be without their talented Spanish forward Gerard Deulofeu only until January due to a hamstring injury suffered against Fulham on Saturday.
The news should come as a relief to Roberto Martínez, who had told the on-loan Barcelona player to prepare himself for "the final third of the season" after an unexpected hamstring tear in the aftermath of the 4-1 win.
However, according to a statement from Everton on Monday: "Scans have now shown the extent of the soft tissue injury in his right hamstring, which is likely to keep him out for a few weeks."
Deulofeu has developed impressively in recent weeks and had replaced Kevin Mirallas in the starting lineup against Fulham. The 19-year-old will miss Premier League games against Swansea City, Sunderland, Southampton and Stoke City over the festive period, plus the FA Cup third-round tie against Queens Park Rangers on 4 January.
