Everton Football Club boss David Moyes is sure Joseph Yobo will soon be back in the side.

The Nigerian international has been left out of the last two games for the Toffees, but Moyes is confident he will force his way back into the team once he proves his fitness.

"He will be back in the team, I am sure about that,” Moyes told the Liverpool Echo. "He is disappointed because he wants to play. I expect that and understand that. But he's had a difficult start to the season.

“We gave him extra time off in the summer because of his international commitments, then he had an injury niggle and that's all contributed to him not being able to reach the fitness level he wants.

"With fitness comes concentration and he has missed that.

“He's not really got back to the level we would have liked."
