Everton’s Marouane Felliani, Facing Ankle Surgery, Out For Remainder Of Premier League Season

Fellaini is now set to miss the rest of this season, scheduled to undergo ankle surgery Monday. While the exact prognosis for his return wasn’t shared, Moyes confirmed (via the club’s web site) that his midfield destroyer is “out for the season.”

With two of their best players hurt, Everton’s weekend victory over Sunderland is looking all the more important. It was one of the Toffees’ best performances of the season, a 2-0 win that put them five points above the drop, giving them come room for error over the season’s last 11 matches.
