Everton attacker Andros Townsend hopes to be back in action next month.

Townsend is recovering from an ACL injury suffered last season.

He said: "It's going well. I'm four months in now, which is probably just over halfway. I came to Qatar to see a specialist, so I've had an amazing week here and learned some new things that I will take back to my rehab back in England."

However, Evertonians might still need to wait a little while to see him back on the pitch. Townsend revealed that there is a long period in which he could return to action - depending on whether he opted to "play if safe" or not.

"Anywhere between October and just after the World Cup," he added on a potential timeframe for his return.

"There's a big window there, where if I want to push it, I could return before the World Cup begins, but if I want to be safe, it would be after the World Cup, so I'm not too sure yet."
