Distin set for Everton bow

29 August 2009 11:48
Defender Sylvain Distin is expected to make his Everton debut against Wigan after sealing his move from Portsmouth. The Frenchman's arrival will free up Phil Neville to revert to a midfield role as the Toffees aim to get back on track in the Barclays Premier League. Diniyar Bilyaletdinov could also secure a place in the squad along with Aiyegbeni Yakubu who played the last 14 minutes of the Europa League play-off match against Sigma Olomouc on Thursday after recovering from a ruptured Achilles. Phil Jagielka, Mikel Arteta and Victor Anichebe remain sidelined through injury.
