Anichebe prepared to work hard

8th January 2009

Everton striker Victor Anichebe is keen for an injury-free run until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old Nigerian could retain his place in the team to face Hull on Saturday after making his comeback from a back problem in the FA Cup victory against Macclesfield.

He told evertonTV: "I just need to get all these injuries behind me and hopefully 2009 will be a good year for myself and the club.

"I'm just looking to get my head down and work hard and see what the year brings for me.

"I'm not setting any targets. I'm just going to take every day as it comes and see what happens. It's going to be a big year for myself - and for everyone."
