Fellaini Statement

Today we get a very non-comittal statement from Maruoane Fellaini regarding his injury.

Fellaini told evertonfc.com: "As you have probably seen and heard I am currently suffering from a knee injury. Fortunately is is not too serious but I will have to miss the two games with Belgium.

"I am hoping to be back playing for Everton as soon as possible.

"I am extremely disappointed and I now have to rest in order to get back to full fitness so I can help the team with some important games coming up."

So we don't know anything new. He could still miss the Queens Park Rangers match, though I would guess they'll do everything possible to have him available for the following week's derby match against Liverpool.

Whom do you trust?

Apropos of nothing, I found it interesting that the day after Royal Belgian Football (KBVB) stated plainly that:

It has been agreed with his club that he will rehabilitate in Belgium during this period.

... Everton FC told a very different story about Marouane Fellaini's injury (italics mine).

The Blues medical team have reviewed his scans and will assess him fully when he returns to Finch Farm on Monday.

It just shows how fluid these situations are, and how you really do have to wait until all the details are out before we really know what is happening, and being able to act on the news as fantasy managers.

Everton Responds to Fellaini Injury News

Everton FC have released an official statement about the injury suffered by star midfielder, Marouane Fellaini.

Fellaini picked up a knock during the 2-2 draw with Wigan Athletic last weekend and although he managed to complete the game, the significance of his injury only became apparent 48 hours later.

He was withdrawn from the World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Scotland and had the injury scanned in Belgium.

The Blues medical team have reviewed his scans and will assess him fully when he returns to Finch Farm on Monday.

Seemingly we won't know more until next week, but it is interesting that the injury happened against Wigan. Fellaini is prone to go into the red (negative fantasy points) when the game isn't going his way, but now we can add the injury to the list of reasons why.

Fellaini Reportedly Injured

Marouane Fellaini may be out for weeks after the Beldian FA have reported that the midfielder has a knee injury.
