[英超]路斯巴克利（Ross Barkley）因傷預計將缺陣6-8星期 [復制鏈接]

Everton star Ross Barkley could face up to six weeks on the sidelines after suffering leg injury



Everton have been dealt a huge blow on the eve of their Premier League opener

after Ross Barkley injured his leg in training and could be facing an extended spell on the sidelines.

The England midfielder was hurt during a session at the Blues Finch Farm complex today

and left with his leg in a supportive brace, amid fears he will miss out for up to six weeks.

Barkley, 20, has featured in the Toffees last three pre-season games,

but will definitely miss tomorrow's trip to Leicester City and the following Goodison clashes with Arsenal and Chelsea as medics race to get him match-fit again.

He is set to undergo a scan tomorrow after which the Blues will have a clearer idea of how long they will be without the youngster.

It means Roberto Martinez must contend without a player who has fast become one of his most influential performers, making 38 appearances last term and scoring seven goals.

The ECHO understands the incident could actually have been worse, with the starlet -

who only signed a new five-year deal just over a fortnight ago - narrowly avoiding an injury that could have wrecked the first half of his campaign.

Martinez must now make a last-minute revision of his plans for tomorrow's clash against the newly-promoted Foxes, with Muhamed Besic likely to come into the side in Barkley's absence.

Massive blow to Everton on eve of new season with Ross Barkley ruled out for 6-8 weeks with knee injury sustained in training.

Ross Barkley: Everton midfielder faces scan after training injury

Ross Barkley is out of Everton's opening Premier League game at Leicester City on Saturday after injuring his leg in training.
The England midfielder, 20, left the club's training ground in a brace and will undergo a scan this weekend.
Initial reports suggest he could be out for six to eight weeks.
Barkley has played in three pre-season games after returning from World Cup duty and his absence is a major blow for Everton manager Roberto Martinez.
Barkley played 34 games for Everton last season, scoring six goals, and signed a new four-year contract at Goodison Park last month.
A long-term injury could rule him out of England's Euro 2016 qualifiers against San Marino and Estonia.
Barkley was hoping to establish himself as one of manager Roy Hodgson's first choice players after making two substitute appearances and one start in Brazil during the summer.

Everton boss Martinez fears Ross Barkley could be out for up to five months with knee injury

Roberto Martinez fears he could be without Ross Barkley for up to five months.

The England midfielder damaged the medial ligament in his right knee in training one day before their opening Premier League match against Leicester, which ended in a 2-2 draw.

Everton will have to wait to find out the full extent of the damage but Martinez knows he could be without one of his key players for a large chunk of the season.

The Toffees boss said: "He had a scan but it was a bit difficult to determine the extent. With the swelling we don't really know how bad the injury is.

"We know it's a partial tear but that could be anything between seven weeks and I've seen injuries like that that take four or five months.

"Ross Barkley is a phenomenal footballer and we're going to miss him, there's no doubt about it. He was so sharp in pre-season,

I thought he came back with a different approach.

"He was very unfortunate to (sustain the injury) through an innocuous challenge in training and now he's going to be out for a long, long time.

"The squad should be big enough to be able to cope with losing a player and be able to perform well,

but it's a disappointing moment when Ross Barkley was going to have a really big start to the season.

"Now it's coping with the frustration and allowing him to come back when he's fully fit and ready for whatever's left in the season."

The injury is also a blow to England, with Barkley looking certain to miss the Euro 2016 qualifiers against Switzerland, San Marino and Estonia at the very least.

Barkley is no stranger to serious injury having broken his leg in three places on England Under-19 duty in 2010.

Martinez backed the 20-year-old to cope with his latest setback, saying: "He's a very mature boy.

"He was very disappointed because he was looking forward to the start of the season

and he put a lot of extra work in because he came back from the World Cup with a real desire to start the season well.

"He's been through periods of bad adversity before and he knows how to cope with that.

"As a football club we're going to be with him and make sure that he's not suffering too much while he's away. I think the ones that are going to suffer is us."
