Everton boss Sean Dyche admits Dwight McNeil is out of their Premier League kickoff.
The winger has suffered ankle ligament damage after breaking down at Stoke City last week.
Dyche said of McNeil: It's not going to be days. It's going to be weeks rather than days. We're waiting on a weekly update if you like. So, yeah, we'll see how long it takes.
"He's just hurt his ankle ligaments."
On new signing Arnaut Danjuma making the Fulham opener, he added: "He will be fit but I doubt he will be fit, fit if that makes sense as in getting out there when the whistle blows."
