Everton are still waiting to find out the extent of the ankle injury suffered by on-loan striker Armando Broja.

The 23-year-old went down under a challenge during the FA Cup third-round victory over Peterborough.

Broja appeared to be in significant pain, needing oxygen from the physio, before being carried off on a stretcher.

Speaking before Wednesday's Premier League game against Aston Villa, manager David Moyes said: "He [Broja] is going for another scan. I think it is a little bit mixed.

"One moment we are thinking it is maybe not too bad. But that's why we are doubling up.

"We are just waiting for the swelling to go down before he goes for the scan and we'll get a better idea in the next few days."

Broja has been restricted to five games without scoring this season after joining from Chelsea on deadline day in the summer with an Achilles injury.
