David Moyes to complain to Belgian FA over Marouane Fellaini injury

David Moyes is to make a formal complaint to the Belgian Football Association over the hamstring injury that has left him without his record signing, Marouane Fellaini , for the next six weeks. The Everton manager attended Belgium's 4-4 draw with Austria in Brussels on Tuesday, where Fellaini sustained the injury but was told, according to Moyes, to continue playing by the coach, Georges Leekens. The 22-year-old was eventually withdrawn in the 81st minute. Moyes, who has several injury problems ahead of tomorrow's Merseyside derby, said: "It is a really big blow for us. He got a hamstring injury and was made to play on longer than he should have and that has made the injury worse. He could have been out for just a couple of weeks, not six, if he had come off straight away and I will be writing a letter to the Belgian FA to express my disappointment at what happened." Leon Osman and Tony Hibbert, meanwhile, have agreed new two-year contract extensions.
