Tony Hibbert unlikely to return for Everton this season

Everton manager David Moyes has revealed that defender Tony Hibbert could be sidelined for the remainder of the campaign.

The Blues, who have 11 games left in the Premier League season, have been without Hibbert since December, when he underwent surgery on his troubled calf.

"I'm not sure if we will see Tony this season," Moyes told the club's official website. "He might be back before the end with a bit of luck."

The Merseyside outfit are due to take on Reading tomorrow.
