Oviedo and Lennon could miss Everton FA Cup tie

Bryan Oviedo and Aaron Lennon may miss Everton‘s FA Cup quarter-final clash with Chelsea, according to Roberto Martinez.

Oviedo, who has started the Toffees’ last seven matches, was admitted to hospital on Wednesday evening after having difficulty breathing.

The left back was diagnosed with a chest infection and is now recovering at home.

Lennon, meanwhile, is struggling to shake off a hamstring strain picked up in the 3-2 defeat to West Ham United last Saturday.

And manager Martinez believes the pair will be touch and go ahead of the match against the Londoners.

Martinez said: “Bryan has reacted really well and we hope that he is going to be back with us tomorrow [Friday]. We hope that he is going to have a speedy recovery.

“At the moment it is too early to tell [whether he can play against Chelsea].

“With a chest infection, we had something similar with Tom Cleverley and he missed the Aston Villa and West Ham games. Gareth Barry had something similar and he was able to play a little bit of a part against West Ham.

“Every player is different, depending how serious and how much that infection affects you.

“Aaron Lennon has been progressing well and we are going to make a decision later today whether he can be involved with the squad or not.”

Barry, Cleverley and Leighton Baines have, however, been passed fit to take part in the last-eight tie atGoodison Park.
 
Lennon has a hamstring problem - presumably the reason that he came off early last Saturday. If he does start, it would seem sensible to have Deulofeu ready on the bench. The right winger will be attacking Baba or Kenedy.

Terry, Hazard and Costa are all doubtful. Matic has lost the form he showed last season. Cech has left for Arsenal - but is now injured. It's a good time to be playing Chelsea.
 
At Stamford Bridge, Terry struck from an offside position 53 seconds after the signalled seven minutes of injury-time were up.

Last season, a deflected 89th-minute strike from Willian condemned Everton to defeat on the ground.

12 months earlier a freak Frank Lampard free-kick had done the same.

It's really time our luck changed against Chelsea!

Very true, mac.

I lived in the States for five years and came home at least twice a year......always making sure it coincided with the football season so I could take in a few games.

Those three or four games a year during that period were the most eagerly anticipated Everton matches in my life.

:)
 

Is the Lennon injury real ?? or is Bobby not trying to somehow justify bringing him off ???

Didn't realise Chelsea had no Costa or Hazard.

Aaron Lennon scores
Everton are keeping their fingers crossed that Aaron Lennon recovers from tighthamstrings in time to face Chelsea in the FA Cup.

The Blues will closely monitor the speedy winger in the next 24 hours ahead of Saturday night’s quarter-final tie at Goodison.

Lennon was taken off against West Ham United last weekend with 15 minutes due to fatigue.


Everton boss Roberto Martinez was criticised for replacing the 28-year-old with Oumar Niasse but has now revealed the 28-year-old is a doubt for the crunch meeting with Chelsea with an injury.

Martinez's decision to replace Lennon with Oumar Niasse was criticised


Martinez will give Lennon every chance of proving his fitness ahead of the 5:30pm kick-off after saying the former Spurs and Leeds man is playing as well as he ever has done in 13 years as a senior professional.

“What’s been very impressive from Aaron is that, clearly, we had really strong options in the forward positions,” Martinez said.

“But he put his head down and started to work extremely hard and tried to get that physical element that he needs in the game.

“When he first arrived It was incredible the way he concentrated on passing on good advice to the younger members of the squad, especially Tyias Browning and Brendan Galloway, and he was a good influence on everyone.

“The way he was working in training, trying to get into the team and passing on advice was almost a moment of maturity at him looking back at all his experiences.

“He was ready for whenever the team needed his input and from that point he has been phenomenal, he has been contagious and the way he has been performing is at the highest level he has ever had in his career.

“He is full of experience and full of know-how and we want that to continue.”

Everton are expecting to have Tom Cleverley and Gareth Barry available for the game but Bryan Oviedo, the latest member of the Blues squad to be hit by a chest infection, is a major doubt.

this is true - most of the time. where are you?

I always thought it would be a good idea for Everton to run competitions for overseas supporters, like every 3 months 1 lucky fan gets an all expenses paid trip to see an Everton game.

Still so many Blues who haven't had the pleasure to go to a game which seems a shame imo, especially if we move stadium.

great idea mate.

I think he'll start Oviedo regardless. I dont think Martinez has a lot of time for Baines. Rightly so, imo. He's a poor defensively.

Oviedo has Bronchitus ,there is no way that lad will be any where near a football pitch for at least a week.
