Nørgaard is still waiting to make his competitive Everton debut following his summer move from Arsenal.
Moyes had previously admitted the midfielder was not making the progress Everton had hoped for.
There was slightly more encouraging news after the Manchester United game, although Moyes confirmed Nørgaard is unlikely to return before the international break.
> “I think we knew it might be something that would keep him out. We hoped it might have been quicker but it’s not.”
Moyes added that Nørgaard was beginning to make “a little more progress”.
Everton have not given a firm return date.
**Possible return:** After the international break.

Garner started against Manchester United but was replaced by Ainsley Maitland-Niles after 77 minutes.
There was some concern after Garner went down before the substitution, but Moyes confirmed afterwards that he had suffered cramp.
Garner spent much of the summer recovering from hernia surgery but has now started Everton’s opening three Premier League games.
