Barkley injury blow for Everton

EVERTON was dealt a major blow on the eve of the English Premier League season with England midfielder Ross Barkley facing up to six weeks out with a leg injury suffered in training on Friday, according to British media reports.

The 20-year-old was to undergo scans yesterday to determine the full extent of the injury which forced him to leave the club’s training ground in Liverpool in a brace, the reports said.

If the injury is as serious as first feared Barkley could miss England’s 2016 European Championship qualifiers against Switzerland, San Marino and Estonia.

Barkley enjoyed a breakthrough season last term which culminated in selection for England’s World Cup squad where he made three appearances.

He signed a new four-year contract at Goodison Park in July and has played in three preseason games for Everton which was opening its league campaign at promoted Leicester City yesterday.
