Everton Under-23 midfielder Einar Iversen is to undergo surgery after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament knee injury.
The Norwegian Under-21 international limped off in the 25th minute of the 1-1 Premier League 2 draw against Arsenal at Southport last Sunday and was replaced by Matthew Mallon.
Iversen will see a consultant in the next few days for repair surgery.
The 19-year-old has been a regular in David Unsworth’s team this season, scoring two goals.
