Everton FC’s Phil Jagielka backs team-mates to rally around injured skipper Phil Neville
Phil Jagielka's injury against Man City 460[LNB]PHIL JAGIELKA today promised that Everton's dressing room will rally around Phil Neville to help him back on the road to full fitness.[LNB]The Blues stricken skipper will see a specialist tomorrow in Manchester to fully determine how badly the posterior ligament in his left knee has been injured.[LNB]Neville underwent a scan yesterday in a Cheshire hospital after being carried off during Sunday's 2-1 defeat at Fulham and the initial signs are that he is facing lengthy spell out.[LNB]Should the worst case scenario unfold, Neville will require an operation to repair the damage and that will rule him out for anything up to four months.[LNB]It is certainly the worst injury that Neville has sustained during his career but Jagielka - who is also in the middle of a rehabilitation programme - says he won't lack for support.[LNB]'It goes without saying that we were all gutted to see 'Phizzer' carried off and, as our captain, he will be missed just as much off the pitch as he will be on it,' said Jagielka, who is on schedule to return to full training at the end of next month.
