Everton fullback Leighton Baines' season is over after undergoing ankle surgery.

The 30-year-old left-back had an operation on Wednesday and will miss the Toffees' last two matches of the season plus England's friendly against the Republic of Ireland and the Euro 2016 qualifier in Slovenia next month.

"Leighton had a little bit of instability in his ankle and in the last two weeks it flared up and against Sunderland the pain he was having was intolerable," said manager Roberto Martinez.

"We got it checked and it needed a little bit of repair work so he had the surgery yesterday.

"It was a straightforward operation just to clear the ankle so he will be out now until the start of pre-season but it is exactly what he needed."
