Everton boss Roberto Martinez has admitted that Kevin Mirallas's "real bad ankle" injury marred tonight's 3-1 win at home to Queens Park Rangers.
The Belgian had added a second goal after Ross Barkley fired the Toffees ahead at Goodison Park, while Steven Naismith struck a third in the second half, before Bobby Zamora netted a late consolation.
However, the night turned sour when Mirallas was stretchered off in the dying stages after a rash challenge from Jordan Mutch, with Martinez admitting that he is pessimistic over the prognosis.
"Kevin is a real negative today, he's got a real bad ankle," the Spaniard is quoted as saying by TalkSport.
"We're going to scan it in the morning and see the extent of the injury. It was a real disappointment to see him carried off at the end."
The 27-year-old has already spent much of the season on the sidelines after a hamstring injury ruled him out for two months.
