Everton midfielder Fellaini out for three weeks with knee injury

After picking up a muscle tear in his side's 2-2 Premier League draw with Wigan, the Belgium Football Association confirms that he will not face Serbia and Scotland

Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini will be sidelined for three weeks with a knee injury, the Belgium Football Association has confirmed.

The damage, which was picked up during Saturday's 2-2 Premier League draw with Wigan and confirmed after a scan on Tuesday, sees the 24-year-old out of his country's World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Scotland.

Fellaini will spent his three weeks out recuperating in Belgium after an agreement was reached between his national FA and the Toffees.

Belgium coach Marc Wilmots has decided against calling up a replacement player to his squad.
