LONDON (Reuters) - Everton's Australian striker Tim Cahill is out for the rest of the season with a broken foot, the Premier league club said on Friday.

Cahill, who missed Australia's 0-0 draw away to China in an Asian 2010 World Cup qualifier on Wednesday, was injured during last weekend's league match at home to West Ham United, the club said on its Web site (www.evertonfc.com).

"Tim Cahill has a broken foot. I think it's obvious that he will be out for the rest of the season," manager David Moyes told the Web site.

The 28-year-old, who has scored 10 goals in all competitions this season for Everton, could miss one or more of Australia's four World Cup qualifiers in June.

Australia, who lead Asian Group One with four points from two matches after a 3-0 win over Qatar in February, are at home to Iraq on June 1 and away to the Asian champions six days later. They visit Qatar on June 14 and host China on June 22.

Everton are fifth in the Premier League standings, two points behind Liverpool, and vying with their city rivals for England's fourth Champions League berth. They meet in the Merseyside derby at Anfield on Sunday.
