Jordan Pickford is the sixth key player in the Everton squad to suffer an injury setback in the opening weeks of the season as the club's injury curse continues.
The Blues captain was outstanding in the Merseyside derby, producing several stunning saves to keep Liverpool out. But his performance came at a cost - the club confirming he suffered a thigh issue that will keep him out until at least the international break.
This means the 28-year-old will miss the upcoming games at Arsenal and at home to West Ham United, with Asmir Begovic likely to replace him.
