Neville backs Saha

Everton captain Phil Neville has backed team-mate Louis Saha to help lead the club to glory for the rest of the season.

The Frenchman has been struggling with injuries for most of his career and he returned to action against Newcastle last weekend after three months on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.

“He’s a match-winner and if we can get him on to the field 20 times, we have 20 good chances of winning a game,” Neville told The Sun.

“If he stays fit he can go as far as he wants in the game, but the problem has been keeping him fit.

“When you see his physique his calves are bigger than my thighs.He’s a freak of nature and has everything in his locker. We’re all hoping this is his time.”
