Season › 2011-12 › News No Fulham game for Jimmy Mac Michael Kenrick , 21 October, 9comments | Jump to most recent McFadden still needs to work on his fitness David Moyes does not expect James McFadden to play for Everton too soon. McFadden will not be considered for Sunday's clash with Fulham as he is still regaining fitness after a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a knee injury. But he is working hard in training to get back into peak condition and Moyes hopes it will not be too long before he can be unleashed. "He has had a bad knee injury which kept him out for over a year," said the Everton manager at his pre-match press conference. "I wouldn't be expecting to see him playing too soon but he has got his first 45 minutes of football under his belt this week for the reserves. "He has been out for a long time but he has looked good in training and we will try to get him back quickly. Hopefully it won't be too long because we want him around the squad. "He is here for the season and if he does well we will look at things again. This is a deal that helps both parties. He has looked good in training and he has matured."
