Tim Cahill celebrates with David Moyes
DAVID MOYES is sweating on Tim Cahill's fitness as he gears Everton up for a revenge mission on Benfica.
The Everton midfielder missed training yesterday, along with Leon Osman, after picking up a knock during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.
Moyes will already have to make at least one change to the side that started that game, as John Heitinga is ineligible but he will be desperate to have Cahill involved.
Having lost their first Europa League meeting with Benfica 5-0 in Lisbon, Moyes will want as many of his big guns available to face the Portuguese giants.
Cahill will now receive treatment for the next 48 hours but is likely to play through the pain barrier, given that Everton have so many injuries at present.
What's more, he has another role to perform in the continued absence of Phil Neville and says that being made captain of the Blues has filled him with immense pride.
'It's a massive honour and a privilege to be a captain of such a big team,' said Cahill, who first wore the armband in Lisbon. 'It's something in my career that is probably the biggest moment for me.
'It's something I don't take lightly; it's been very disheartening to wear the armband and lose games but we turned it around against Aston Villa. The gaffer looks for leadership and if I have the armband or not I will always be a leader of this team.'
Everton have large fan base across the world. Their fans love to watch them into the play ground. Now the fans can get the Everton football tickets online. ticket4football.com not only provide you with Premiership football tickets but also Champions league tickets and Champions league final tickets.
