Everton defender Phil Jagielka will miss the next three Premier League matches after suffering a thigh injury in Monday night's 2-1 win over Manchester City.
The England international has been ruled out of upcoming clashes with Birmingham City, West Ham United and Stoke City in what is a major blow for the Toffees.
Just as Everton had grabbed the scalp of a top-three team, an injury like this occurs and adds to the loss of defender Johnny Heitinga who is still sidelined with a knee problem.
