Oviedo cleared of serious injury

The fullback was stretchered off during Everton's 3-3 draw with Chelsea but isn't likely to face a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez has cleared fullback Bryan Oviedo of any significant injury after he was stretchered off during his side's dramatic 3-3 draw with Chelsea on Saturday.

Oviedo was injured the 71st minute of the game and required lengthy treatment.

He was taken off via a stretcher and replaced by Ramiro Funes Mori, who scored Everton's third.

Chelsea captain John Terry would later score in the 98th minute from a seemingly offside position, ensuring the contest ended in heartbreak for the Everton faithful.
