Moyes On Saha

Tony Hibbert is set to return but Saha is a doubt with a calf strain.

David Moyes has revealed Louis Saha is the only fresh injury doubt for Thursday's Europa League clash with Benfica.

Saha sustained a calf strain in last week's Carling Cup clash with Tottenham but was still able to figure as a late substitute in the draw with Aston Villa on Saturday.

The injury continues to trouble the striker though.

Moyes told evertonfc.com: "Louis is still suffering slightly with his calf strain so we will assess him before the match on Thursday.

"He's had a good season so far but there's still much more to come from him.  He's scored some great goals but I still think he can improve."

Moyes will be without John Heitinga and Lucas Neill, who are both ineligible for the Europa League tie, but Tony Hibbert could return.

The defender missed Saturday's Premier League match due to a bout of flu but has trained with the squad during Wednesday's session.
