Anichebe out for season

Anichebe needs surgery that will keep him out for the season

Everton boss David Moyes has confirmed that the club will be without Victor Anichebe for the rest of the season.The striker suffered a knee injury during a Premier League visit to Newcastle United last month.And with a scan this week proving inconclusive, he now needs exploratory surgery to assess the extent of the problem - ruling him out for the rest of the Toffees' campaign."He's damaged his cartilage and is out for the season. It's a blow for the boy as he'd just got back into the team and it's another player we have lost," said Moyes, referring to the season-long absences of Yakubu and Mikel Arteta.Everton are currently in sixth place in the league table, four points adrift of Arsenal.They host struggling Middlesbrough in an FA Cup quarter-final tie on Sunday as 8/11 favourites in the online sports betting market, with the visitors given odds of 4/1.
