Everton left-back Vitalii Mykolenko will miss the rest of the season after suffering ankle ligament damage.
The 24-year-old was injured during Everton's 2-0 Merseyside derby win over Liverpool last Wednesday night.
A statement from the Toffees said: "The Blues left-back, who came off at half-time during the clash at Goodison Park, has been assessed by a specialist, who revealed the Ukraine international will not require surgery.
"However, Mykolenko will not be available for Everton for the remainder of the season."
Mykolenko has made 34 appearances for Everton this season, scoring two goals.
