David Unsworth: 'Leighton Baines, Michael Keane could face spells on sidelines'

Everton interim manager David Unsworth has confirmed that both Leighton Baines and Michael Keane could be facing spells on the sidelines.

Left-back Baines was forced off after just 27 minutes of the Toffees' 4-1 defeat at Southampton after suffering a calf injury.

Centre-back Keane, meanwhile, was substituted 15 minutes from the end of the Premier League game at St Mary's after picking up a knee injury.

Speaking after the game, Unsworth said: "Leighton has done his calf unfortunately. We'll probably assess him more tomorrow.

"He said he felt his calf pop which is never a good sign, a muscle injury like that so early in the game. We'll reassess him but he looks like he'll be struggling for Wednesday.

"Michael was a bit different. I don't know whether it was concussion. I've not spoken to Michael or the doctor. He was with the doctor in the changing rooms at the end of the game and I haven't had chance to speak to either yet."

Everton remain 16th in the table following the defeat on the south coast, just two points above the bottom three.
