Jordan Pickford is reportedly facing six weeks on the sidelines, meaning he faces a battle to be fit enough to make England's squad for the Euros this summer.
The Everton goalkeeper aggravated a recurring rib injury in the Toffees' defeat by Burnley last week and has been told to rest after returning too quickly when he first picked up the knock earlier this season.
According to The Sun, Pickford could be out until May, meaning he could only make a couple of appearances before the end of the season.
There has been much debate about who should start for England this summer but Gareth Southgate has maintained that Pickford is his No 1 choice.
