Everton FC fear Phil Neville injury, as Joseph Yobo promises team will improve
EVERTON were today keeping their fingers crossed for good news from Phil Neville's scan results - as Joseph Yobo admitted the Blues had let themselves down at Fulham.
Neville was stretchered off during yesterday's 2-1 defeat at Craven Cottage after being on the end of a reckless tackle from Dickson Etuhu and left the ground on crutches.
The former England international sustained a badly gashed knee and described himself as being 'very, very sore' today and will remain on tenterhooks until this afternoon when he will discover if there is any long term damage.
Neville has been booked in for a precautionary scan in a Cheshire Hospital - to make sure that he has not suffered any bone breaks or ligament damage.
But he will definitely miss Everton's next two games.
The incident was undoubtedly the low point of day which had started so brightly when Tim Cahill had headed Everton into a lead.
However, they fell apart in the second half - particularly after Neville had gone off - and Yobo says every bit of criticism that came the squad's way was deserved.
'I thought in the first half we were in total control,' said the Nigerian. 'We got a goal and we were doing well but in the second half, we just let loose and lost control.
