Everton's players have been impacted by the wait to see if their appeal against a 10-point deduction has been successful.
Sean Dyche's side moved out of the bottom three on goal difference with a 1-1 home draw against Crystal Palace on Monday night but would be 12th had they not been punished for a breach of Premier League profit and sustainability rules.
A verdict on Everton's appeal is expected this week. While players usually pretend they ignore things out of their control, midfielder James Garner is candid enough to acknowledge it does have an impact.
