Everton confirm that Jarrad Branthwaite will miss the rest of the season with a hamstring issue.

“Everton can confirm Jarrad Branthwaite sustained a hamstring injury during Sunday’s Merseyside derby. The injury is unrelated to the hamstring area which required surgery in October, with a scan confirming no procedure is needed this time around. Branthwaite will now undergo rehabilitation at Finch Farm with Everton’s medical team and is unlikely to feature again this season.” [Everton FC]
