Sean Dyche has explained Yerry Mina’s recent rare outing for Everton came as a result of wanting to give every player at the club an opportunity.
Michael Keane’s reintroduction into the starting eleven at the start of March took some supporters by surprise, having been frozen out by previous manager Frank Lampard. Keane’s run of ten consecutive starts came to an end during Monday’s 5-1 victory at Brighton, however, as Mina took his place.
This represented only a third Premier League appearance of the season for the Colombian defender, who has been overlooked since Dyche was appointed as manager at the end of January. Explaining his decision to bring the ex-Barcelona star back into the fold earlier this week, the Blues’ boss said: “Yerry was the only player who hadn’t stepped on the pitch for us in real terms. At some point, I’ve got to look at that and go ‘Could he offer us something different’?
