Oviedo cleared of serious injury

Everton manager Roberto Martinez has cleared full-back Bryan Oviedo of any significant injury after he was stretchered off during his side's dramatic 3-3 draw with Chelsea on Saturday.

Oviedo was injured the 71st minute of the game and required lengthy treatment.

He was taken off via a stretcher and replaced by Ramiro Funes Mori, who scored Everton's third.

"Bryan’s injury is not serious and he should be ok," he said.

"We will assess him over the next 24 hours.

"It was more a knock rather than anything else. We expect that Bryan will be ok."

Oviedo took to Twitter to reassure his fans, tweeting: "Great game today, it hurts not have gotten the win. Do not worry, I'm fine it was just for caution."
