Everton will be without the services of midfielder Merlin Röhl when they face Manchester United at Old Trafford on Monday.
Röhl, signed from German outfit SC Freiburg on an initial loan deal this summer, will be out for a few weeks after he underwent a minor operation on a hernia issue following the 2-0 win over Fulham.
"Unfortunately, Merlin had an operation a week last Monday on his hernia. It's going to keep him out for a few weeks,” David Moyes said in the pre-match press conference.
"Hopefully by the time we get around to December, he'll be fit and ready to go again."
The 23-year-old midfielder joins centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite in the treatment room after the latter underwent hamstring surgery last month. Nathan Patterson remains out with a foot and groin issue as well.
