Everton fans have been reacting to the news that midfielder Alex Iwobi will spend another period on the sidelines due to his latest injury.

Iwobi, who signed from Arsenal for £35m in the summer, was forced off just 11 minutes into their 0-0 draw with his former club and has since been nursing the problem.
