Everton's Russian midfielder Diniyar Bilyaletdinov has said there is no panic at the club, despite the side being just a point off the relegation zone.

"The mood at the club is ok, there is no panic. There are still 22 matches left. We do have a lot of injuries though," the player told the Sovetski Sport paper.

Everton drew 3-3 with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge at the weekend, a result that gave the club's fans hope that the side will soon begin to rise up the table.

"An away draw with Chelsea is a decent result," Bilyaletdinov, who was recently voted Everton player of the month, said. "We earned a day off and I spent it at home with my family."

Unlike Chelsea's Yury Zhirkov and Tottenham Hotspur's Roman Pavlyuchenko, the 24-year old international has no problems with expressing himself in English, a key factor perhaps in his success at securing a first team place.

"I recently gave an interview to the club website," he said. 'I asked the interpreter to come with me. But I was able to handle it on my own."

Everton are in 15th place in the Premier League with 18 points after 16 games.
