Everton were left counting the cost of another injury ahead of the Sky Live Merseyside derby after Ramiro Funes Mori was carried off while playing for Argentina.
The centre-back was shown holding his left knee as he left the pitch after only 36 minutes of Argentina's 2-0 defeat by Bolivia on Tuesday evening.
Ronald Koeman had already seen Seamus Coleman sidelined until next season after breaking his right leg during the Republic of Ireland's draw with Wales last Friday.
Midfielder James McCarthy, meanwhile, did not even make it to kick-off in Dublin after aggravating a hamstring problem in the warm-up.
Funes Mori has made 26 appearances for Everton this season, but lost his place to Phil Jagielka for the last two matches against West Brom and Hull.
The injuries are particularly bad timing for Koeman, with a run of nine wins from 15 games having taken them level with sixth-placed Arsenal.
