Yerry Mina has had another injury setback

Toffees boss Silva revealed he had told Queiroz that Mina was not fit enough to feature in both international games.He said: “We knew it could be a risk for him to play the two matches, it was something in our communication with the national team.“We cannot control it, it’s their decision of course but we tried to advise them.“It was always a risk for him to play two games in a short period. They decided and unfortunately for us and for Yerry he took the injury.”

“My colleague is also Portuguese and we had this communication, but of course he decided the best thing for the national team was to always have the best players.“Unfortunately for us and for Mina he has to stop again.” Silva is confident that Mina will play for Everton before the end of the season.He added: “It’s not for the season. Let’s see how many weeks he will be.“Now is not the right moment to say how long but we expect to see Mina again here soon training and playing in our blue shirt.”
