Everton have suffered a significant setback in their fight to avoid relegation with Yerry Mina ruled out for up to 10 weeks with a quadriceps injury.
The Colombia international sustained his third thigh problem of an injury-plagued campaign during Tuesday’s defeat at Newcastle and is not expected to return until late April. Mina’s absence leaves Frank Lampard seriously stretched in central defence, with the manager having lost Ben Godfrey for at least a month with a hamstring injury in his first game in charge.
