Toffees concern over duo

Everton's fifth-place finish was overshadowed by injury scares to Steven Pienaar and captain Phil Neville ahead of next week's FA Cup final against Chelsea. Two goals, one in each half from Leon Osman, earned Everton all three points against a lack-lustre Fulham side at Craven Cottage. But their success was marred by worrying hamstring injuries to both players with the cup final just six days away. Both had to be substituted during the second half but Moyes is hoping they can recover in time to face Chelsea. "Phil has got a problem with his hamstring, as has Steven, so we need to see how they are," said Moyes. "I don't think they are struggling. Phil's was a little bit worse than Steven's injury so I'm just going to have to see how he is as the week progresses."
