Sweet IRONy as injured McCarthy forced off

What goes around comes around they say and that appears to be the case with Dimi Payet’s attacker James McCarthy.

After putting our star man out of action for three months with one of the most reckless tackles seen at the Boleyn in a long time it seems the Everton player is now in  trouble.

He will have to be assessed before his team’s next match against Crystal Palce next Monday after picking up what could be a problematical injury at Bournemouth today.

He apparently landed awkwardly in trying to clear a Bournemouth corner, but according to manager Roberto Martinez has over-extended his groin.

He said: “James McCarthy over extended his groin. It is a concern because he doesn’t usually have to come off. He’ll be assessed.”

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bloke eh! Hope it’s nothing too trivial!
