The Everton striker had been set to undergo surgery on the injury by renowned specialist Dr Richard Steadman but the surgeon himself has a shoulder injury and so was was forced to postpone the surgery on Vaughan.

"You fly to America for an operation and the guy is taken quite ill. What can you do? We are getting a report on it this week," Everton's head physio Mick Rathbone told the club's official website.

"James wants Dr Steadman to do it and so do we. We think he is the best at this kind of thing. James is 20 and it is important to us to get the right guy.

"How long do we wait to get it done? There is a fine line and we are weighing that up now."
