Gravesen out for the season

Last updated : 27 April 2004 By Austin Rathe
Thomas Gravesen will miss the rest of Everton's season after he damaged his medial knee ligaments in the 1-0 defeat to Blackburn on Saturday.

Moyes said: "Thomas has sustained a medial ligament injury, which looks as if it will probably keep him out for the remainder of the season. It is not serious enough to cause any problems for the European Championships. It will be tight, he may possibly make the last game of the season but it is certainly going to keep him out for a couple of weeks."

Gravesen's absence will only accentuate the need for Everton to strengthen our midfield, we more or less fell apart after his departure on Saturday.
