Everton manager Roberto Martinez is hoping that left-back Bryan Oviedo's latest injury is not too serious.

The 25-year-old had to be substituted 25 minutes into the 6-2 win against Sunderland last Sunday. He is due to have a scan on Tuesday.

Oviedo's time at Goodison Park has been plagued with injuries, most notably the double leg break he suffered in January 2014.

Martinez told the Everton's official website: "It is a sad incident because of Bryan's previous problems.

"He has been fighting to get fit after the horrific break that he had. It seems that when you come back from a long-term injury like that, the whole mechanics of your body suffer a little bit.

"Bryan has been picking up little injuries and niggles but he is such an incredibly driven individual that this will not stop him getting back onto the pitch.

"We are going to find out a bit more about the extent of the injury but we don't feel it is anything too serious."
