Bilyaletdinov set for debut

16 September 2009 16:37
Everton will give new Russian winger Diniyar Bilyaletdinov his full debut in the home Europa League Group I clash with AEK Athens on Thursday. The 24-year-old has so far managed just a few minutes as a late substitute against Wigan following his £10million move from Lokomotiv Moscow, and was left on the bench at Fulham on Sunday. Everton are without skipper Phil Neville, who is likely to be out for three months with knee ligament damage, while Tony Hibbert is suspended and Dutch defender John Heitinga is ineligible.
