Martinez sweats over trio鈥檚 fitness
Print Edition
INFLUENTIAL Everton trio Phil Jagielka, John Stones and Gareth Barry are all doubtful for today’s FA Cup semifinal against Manchester United at Wembley, while right-back Seamus Coleman will definitely miss the clash, manager Roberto Martinez said.
Barry and Stones picked up their injury problems in Wednesday’s 0-4 Premier League drubbing at the hands of Merseyside rival Liverpool, while captain Jagielka has not featured since he hurt his hamstring on April 9.
“Seamus Coleman will be missing. Late fitness test for Gareth Barry. John Stones is positive. Rest of the squad fine,” Martinez told reporters yesterday. “Knowing Phil he is desperate to play but we are not going to say no and we are going to (look at) his feelings rather than the injury.”
With defender Ramiro Funes Mori suspended for the semi-final, having picked up a red card against Liverpool, Martinez is currently left with only left-back Leighton Baines as senior defender.
With Everton failing to win any of its last six games, Martinez seems to have lost the trust of supporters. He hopes to win them back by ending the club’s 20-year wait for a trophy with victory in the FA Cup.
Crystal Palace plays Watford in the other semifinal tomorrow.
