Toffees allay Yakubu fears

Everton assistant Steve Round has allayed fears that Ayegbeni Yakubu suffered a fresh injury problem in his first start for 10 months.
The Nigeria striker confirmed his return with a first-half goal during Wednesday's 4-0 Carling Cup third round rout of Hull City.

However, he was substituted at half-time following an injury scare.
But speaking after the match, Round revealed that Yakubu had suffered a minor thigh problem and insisted that the striker's knee ligament injury is firmly behind him.
He explained: "He has got a slight thigh strain. We want him to train tomorrow and be ready for Saturday so we took him off as a precaution.
"He is a 20-goals-a-season striker. He has had nine months out and I have seen how hard he has worked to come back.
"It has been a long road for him so the whole team are delighted for him to get a goal."
Yakubu opened the scoring on 11 minutes and then goals by Jo, Dan Gosling and Leon Osman completed the rout.
Round added: "I think the early goals made a difference as they knocked the stuffing out of Hull a bit.
