Everton manager Frank Lampard has revealed that Yerry Mina has suffered yet another injury setback ahead of Saturday’s trip to Tottenham Hotspur but Nathan Patterson’s recovery is going well. Colombian international centre-back Mina went off with an ankle injury in the 1-0 home defeat to Chelsea in the opening game of the season and has not featured since.
He was pictured in training in photographs released by the club today but Lampard confirmed that the 28-year-old – who has featured in less than half of the 161 Premier League games since he signed for the club – has been ruled out again. Going through the availability of his players, he said: “Doucs (Abdoulaye Doucoure, who was not included against Manchester United) had a family issue but he’s back in the squad for tomorrow.
“Mason (Holgate) is training, he’s not ready to be in the squad yet but he’s training really well. Yerry had a little bit of a setback this week (small calf injury), so he won’t be available.”
