James McCarthy will be out for three weeks after undergoing surgery on a groin injury, Everton manager Ronald Koeman has confirmed.
Everton manager Ronald Koeman will be without midfielder James McCarthy for three weeks after the midfielder underwent surgery on a groin injury.
McCarthy missed Everton's 1-0 win over Stoke City and the Republic of Ireland international will not be available for his side's trip to Sunderland in the Premier League on Monday.
Koeman has received an injury boost ahead of the visit to the Stadium of Light, however, as McCarthy's international colleague Seamus Coleman, who is yet to feature for Everton this season, came through a 2-2 draw with Serbia on Tuesday.
