Everton striker Yakubu wants to be back in the Everton side by the start of the season, he has said today, after an eight month lay off through an injury sustained at Spurs last autumn.

"I'm getting better and training every day with the physio who is so wonderful to me," said the Yak.

"For almost eight months I haven't been playing football but at the moment it's great. I don't know but I think at the beginning of the season I'll be ready."...discuss this on the forums Discuss this on our forums
