...And His Injury's No Worry

Everton boss David Moyes has eased concerns about Tim Cahill's fitness after the Socceroo limped out of the Toffees 1-1 draw with Arsenal on Wednesday.

Cahill, who had earlier opened the scoring in the contest with a lovely 61st minute header, had to be substituted on 86 minutes after picking up a foot injury.

The 29-year-old Socceroo went off to a rousing standing ovation from the Everton fans who showed their appreciation and concern for the Australian star.

And the injury wouldn't only have concerned Everton fans, but Socceroos fans too with the crucial World Cup qualifier against Japan in Yokohama just a few weeks away.

But the Toffees gaffer eased those concerns when he admitted after the game it was only a precautionary measure for his in-form makeshift striker, who was sidelined for six months last year with a foot problem.

"Tim doesn't look bad," said Moyes. "I think he's just taken a kick on his foot. He was fatigued anyway so it was right that we took him off."
