Everton suffered an injury scare in their draw against Manchester United on Saturday with Jesper Lindstrom being withdrawn.

It was another brilliant first-half showing from David Moyes’ men at Goodison Park with just five games now remaining at the historic ground.

One point for Everton has maintained their advantage in the standings over United.

However, there were some negatives for the Toffees with another potential injury issue cropping up during the second half.

Jesper Lindstrom was withdrawn after just 54 minutes of action and replaced by Ashley Young.

Given their injury list that has already piled up, this is the last thing which Moyes will want.

Moyes wants to sign Lindstrom permanently in the summer after being impressed by the Dane already.

But the Toffees will now be sweating over his fitness after being forced off during the early stages of the second half on Saturday.

Speaking after the game, Moyes provided an initial assessment of why Lindstrom was withdrawn from the game.

The Everton boss has confirmed Lindstrom was withdrawn through illness.

Moyes has been heard shouting encouragement to Lindstrom in the early stages of him Goodison Park return.

It is a bond which has shown signs of promise from the very start, and Moyes will be hoping he can get the Dane back on the pitch sooner rather than later.

Jesper Lindstrom needs to add attacking output to his game

Lindstrom only joined the Toffees in the summer on a season-long loan deal.

Everton do hold the option to make his stay permanent and will have a number of positions to cover with their looming contract saga.

However, there is still a lot which Lindstrom needs to prove in an attacking sense as he awaits his first goal contribution for the senior side.

Lindstrom has improved under Moyes, but he may still need to show something extra if he is going to secure himself a stay at Everton.
