Jack Rodwell is a doubt for Everton ahead of the visit of Birmingham on Sunday.

The midfielder limped off the pitch after less than eight minutes in the Europa League clash with BATE Borisov on Thursday.

A scan has been carried out on the suspected hamstring injury but Everton are waiting for the results.

Brazilian Jo could also miss the Premier League match at Goodison with the knee injury he picked up at Chelsea and the striker is also battling the flu.

Better news for came as David Moyes revealed at his pre-match press conference that Leon Osman came through last night's game unscathed.

"Ossie needs match practice," said the Blues boss.  "He obviously hasn't played since his foot injury in October."

Osman was one of only four regular first team players who started the 1-0 defeat against BATE.

Moyes chose to field a youthful side while resting those who have played most the season, with Sunday’s game firmly in his mind.

Tim Cahill also returns from his suspension in the league. The midfielder missed the trip to Chelsea after picking up his fifth booking of the season against Tottenham.

John Heitinga and Lucas Neill are also back in contention for a starting place after sitting out the Europa League match due to their ineligibility.

Moyes is also without long term absentees Phil Neville, Mikel Arteta, Phil Jagielka, Victor Anichebe, James Vaughan, Joseph Yobo, Dan Gosling and Sylvain Distin.

Everton (from): Howard, Hibbert, Baines, Coleman, Neill, Heitinga, Bilyaletdinov, Rodwell, Pienaar, Fellaini, Osman, Jo, Saha, Yakubu, Nash, Duffy, Agard, Akpan, Mustafi.
