Everton's Australian midfielder Tim Cahill could be back to full training by the end of September, the Premier League club said on Sunday.
Cahill fell awkwardly on his left foot during his return to Everton action earlier this month in the friendly with Werder Bremen.
He aggravated the same area of his foot that was broken last season at Sheffield United and which ruled him out for the last three months of the campaign.
He returned to fitness in July, figuring in three games for the Socceroos during their Asia Cup campaign. But his return to Premier League action has been put on hold by the latest injury.
Club head physio Mick Rathbone told evertonTV that the player could return to full training by the end of next month.
"Tim unfortunately sustained a disturbance of his fracture site, when he landed awkwardly against Werder Bremen," said Rathbone.
"It's not so bad, he's walking round with no symptoms at all now. It's so frustrating. We're looking for 6-12 weeks on that. I know Tim will be banging the door down to start running on it soon.
"Getting him back into training isn't so bad, getting him back running round isn't a problem, but getting him jumping like he does, and landing full force on the outside of his left foot, it's going to be a while before it's going to be strong enough to be able to do that.
"But again the time goes by, he gets stronger everyday."
