EVERTON have suffered a major blow ahead of tomorrow's Premier League trip to Tottenham with the news that Leon Osman will be out for four to six weeks with an ankle problem.

The midfielder suffered the injury during the first half of last Sunday's 2-0 derby victory over Liverpool and failed to emerge for the second half.

Osman joins a growing injury list which also includes Louis Saha, Marouane Fellaini, Steven Pienaar and Jack Rodwell.
