Pienaar Eyes Derby Return
@Everton
The midfielder could be back in action in time for the Merseyside derby.
Steven Pienaar could boost Everton's squad by returning to action in time for the Merseyside derby.
The midfielder is set to take part in training over the next few days following eight weeks out with a knee injury sustained at Portsmouth.
However David Moyes said Phil Neville and Leon Osman are unlikely to feature in the clash with Liverpool on Sunday.
“Steven is the only one who is near coming back. He will hopefully train this week and we’ll take it from there," said the Everton manager.
Following the 3-0 defeat at Manchester United on Saturday, the Blues boss wants his players to focus on the trip to Hull on Wednesday before they think about the derby.
The manager described the match at the KC Stadium as "massive" after the result at Old Trafford.
“It's important we pick ourselves up," said Moyes. "I've been here (Old Trafford) many times and lost with Everton but there have been a lot of games where I've thought we played really well and were unfortunate not to come away with something. But not on Saturday."

Mark LynchWe need to start looking at a 442 formation, we were so much better in the 2nd half at old trafford lets hope we can capitalise on the kopites mis-fortunes(if you can call them that) we have one of the biggest injury lists in the league , yet not a lot is mentioned.. lets show the rest of the league how united we are 3 points from Hull and 3 points from the Kopites, get us closer to the top and give the likes of City spurs and Villa some food for thought

david harmanI hope Pienaar can play 45mins at least, and I hope it does not take him too long to show what he can do.

Lindsey McGrathHope piennar is back for the derby, we need as much creativity and speed as we can get at the moment. We have a gr8 chance of winning this one even with a greatly depleted squad. The reds are pitiful at the moment we can get in there and completely decimate them and add to there woes. Am going to the game, we need as many voice as possible to get the lads going so COYB
