Four-some fine for awesome United

Everton, 18:54, October 21, 2008 ,

Everton are set to be bolstered by the return of Segundo Castillo, Joseph Yobo and Victor Anichebe in time for the visit of Man Utd.

The injured trio missed last weekend's 3-1 loss to Arsenal but are all on course to be available for Saturday's high noon kick-off against the Premier League and European champions.
Everton head of sports medicine Mick Rathbone has provided welcome news for boss David Moyes and also confirmed Marouane Fellaini will shake off his dead leg in time.
He told the club's official website: "Segundo was injured playing for Ecuador. He came off quite early in the game so we expected a problem and he has come back with a pretty slight hamstring strain.
"He's done some light jogging now and he's going to be - hopefully - close for the weekend. We don't know yet but he's making good progress.
"Joseph Yobo's had quite a nasty virus. He's been off for five days but he trained today so hopefully he'll be able to train all week and he should be okay.
"And Victor too - he got a very minor hamstring strain in the reserve game against Liverpool (last week) but he's with Castillo now and running pretty comfortably. We'll just see how they all go for the next couple of days.
"Fellaini got a dead leg and came off in the second half but that's not bad and I don't anticipate any problems with that. So it's so far, so good."
Suspended midfielder Tim Cahill and long-term injury absentee Lars Jacobsen will miss out for the Toffees.
