Everton boss David Moyes has played down suggestions that striker Louis Saha is on the verge of a comeback after frustrating hamstring problems.

The 30-year-old has not featured since the end of November, but some reports had suggested that he could be back in action as soon as this weekend.

However, has downplayed such talk, telling the club's official website: "Louis has got great ability and that has been there for everyone to see when he has played.

"We have done well during the period that he has been out, but there is no doubt you miss having somebody who is a natural finisher to call upon.

"It will be great to have him back again, but I don't know whether it will be this weekend.

"It might be another few weeks before he is really ready to go again and we won't rush him.

"Nobody will have been more frustrated than Louis that he has ended up missing so many games during the time in which we have done reasonably well.

"He will be glad to get around the place again. He has plenty of experience and will have realised that the injury was just one of those things. Now he has got himself back.

"He is a terrific player and has shown that throughout his career. He has got an ability to finish and score goals and hopefully he will do that for us when he returns."
