We asked for your views on how big of a blow Jarrad Branthwaite's injury is to Everton as they chase European football? Is this more of a worry with his recent injury history?
Here are some of your comments:
Andy: Glad it is not serious. Hopefully Branthwaite will be fit and ready to go next season. I'm happy in a sense that he didn't make the England squad last time round, as missing out on a World Cup squad place now would have been a killer.
Colin: You've got to feel sorry for him after the first injury he suffered that kept him out for so long. He'll be missed by all the fans, and we wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him in action next season.
Paul: It's a huge blow for Branthwaite to be out again, but we have Michael Keane to step in, and he has had a great season when called upon. Let Branthwaite recover now and hopefully he will be fit to start next season.
Thomas: He's been missing for a sizeable chunk of the season already. We've proven we can get results without him. I really wanted him to be the future of this club, but with his injury record, we just can't rely on him.
Iain: Although it's not exactly ideal, given how much of the season Jarrad has already missed, I'm not as worried about it as I might have been in previous seasons. Keane did a fantastic job before Jarrad came back from injury, and I've got no doubt he will step up once again. It leaves us a little thin on options, but with only five games left, I think we will be able to cope.

Keith: It's a terrible blow and my heart goes out to Jarrad. You could see he was distraught, which shows just how much he wanted to be in that blue shirt, fighting for a European spot.
