Everton defender Yerry Mina may be a month away from a debut.
According to The Mirror, Everton defender Yerry Mina is expected to be out for another month as Toffees fans wait patiently for his debut.
Everton have started well this season, picking up a 2-2 draw at Wolves and a 2-1 home win over Southampton, and that’s even without some of their new signings being in action.
Deadline day additions Kurt Zouma, Yerry Mina, Andre Gomes and Bernard have yet to appear, whilst Lucas Digne hasn’t been able to displace Leighton Baines.
Manager Marco Silva will be desperate to get those players up and running, just like he has with Richarlison, but one of those new faces appears to be some way off a debut.
Defender Mina was signed after lengthy talks with Barcelona, and the Colombian centre back has arrived in a big-money deal to boost Silva’s back four.
However, Silva has confirmed that Mina is still injured and needs more time, with The Mirror claiming that it will be after the international break that he will return, with up to a month more on the sidelines yet.
Mina suffered his injury during Colombia’s World Cup defeat to England six weeks ago, but still needs time to recover – and that will give Zouma a chance to nail down a spot in Silva’s team before Mina can even make his debut.
