Li Tie has broken his leg and will be out for the rest of the season. The incident happened whilst the Chinese star was training with his national squad.

"It's been difficult for him in his second season," Everton manager David Moyes told the evertonfc.com.

Only because you haven't given him a chance, Dave.

"He's a tremendous lad, a conscientious worker and he's desperate to do well." Moyes continued. "He was really pleased with himself that he impressed everyone last year. He'll be disappointed now that he's not able to put in a good end to the season."
