Everton defender Michael Keane is in hospital after a nasty infection spread up his leg as a result of a gash picked up in his side's EFL Cup tie against Sunderland last month, according to Sky Sports.
24-year-old Keane missed Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Leicester as a result of the infection, and it's currently unclear when he will return to the starting lineup.
Keane has played six games since the gash both for both club and country, but Toffees caretaker boss David Unsworth confirmed Keane's emission from the squad on Sunday was a result of the defender being in hospital due to the infection from the gash.
