Everton are sweating on the fitness of striker Louis Saha ahead of their FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United.

The 30-year-old Frenchman missed training on Monday due to a virus and boss David Moyes is considering throwing James Vaughan into the fray, despite him having not featured since mid-November due to injury.

Moyes' attacking options are further limited by loanee Jo being cup-tied.

He told the Daily Post: "There's a worry because Louis wasn't well, but hopefully it's just a bit of sickness and he'll be okay.

"I'll be watching James Vaughan to see how he comes on in training and a reserve game hopefully (away at Manchester United tomorrow night) this week, which could put him in contention as well or in and around the squad.

"Generally it's a bit early for him, but hopefully we'll see how he is after this week."
