Jagielka sets comeback date
Everton, 09:33, June 18, 2009 ,
Phil Jagielka has targeted Everton's games against Manchester United and Liverpool as he recovers from a serious knee injury.
England defender Jagielka was cruelly denied a place in the FA Cup final last month when he picked up an anterior cruciate ligament injury just a week after scoring the decisive penalty in the semi-final win over United.
But Jagielka is refusing to be downcast and after the fixture computer dealt the Toffees November clashes with United and Liverpool yesterday he hopes it will give him extra motivation to return to full fitness.
He told the Liverpool Daily Post: "I've been trying not to set myself any targets but I've been aiming for November.
"I'm going to see the surgeon in the next few weeks though and hopefully he'll be able to give me a date that I can realistically aim for."
