Everton defender Yerry Mina had to be taken off with injury last night.
Everton boss Marco Silva has told the Liverpool Echo that Yerry Mina’s injury may not be too serious.
Mina made his return to Everton’s line-up last night, but it was a short lived comeback.
The Colombian was forced off in the first-half of Everton’s match against Watford, as his troublesome knee problem started playing up again.
There were fears that Mina could be set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
However, Mina’s pain had subsided by full-time, which suggests that the problem may not be serious.
And Silva admits that he hopes that Mina’s ‘strange’ problem is not an issue.
“Before the game he was completely ok,” Silva said. “When we changed close to half-time he was in pain in that moment. When I spoke to him at the end of the game did was walking and did not feel pain no more. So it is a little strange.
“It is too early to say. Before the game he was fine. It (his knee) was disturbing him. We will see in the next few days.”
Mina has arguably been Everton’s best defensive player so far this season, so his availability at the weekend would be a major boost.
Everton take on Tottenham Hotspur in their next match, as Silva’s side look to make it three wins from four.
