Everton have been handed a double fitness boost ahead of their game with Leicester City with Frank Lampard confirming that Yerry Mina and Donny van de Beek have both returned.
Lampard has been without Mina – who has played in just 10 of Everton’s 30 Premier League matches so far this season – since the Colombian international went off with a hamstring injury in the 3-1 defeat at Newcastle United on February 8 while Van de Beek suffered a thigh injury during the pre-match warm-up ahead of the 2-1 loss at West Ham United on April 3 and had to be replaced by Mason Holgate in the starting line-up.
Lampard said: “Yerry will feature. He’s in the squad so it’s just making sure that he’s fit enough and analysing the games we’ve got left because we’ve got a game four days after this, a huge game for us.

"So it’s managing that with Yerry because he’s been out for a while but it’s great to have him back. He’s a big personality in the dressing room, he’s a big player for us so we’re pleased to have him.”
On Van de Beek, Lampard added: “Donny is back in contention.
"He was not well for a period, had an injury pre-West Ham, then has had a baby girl last week so it’s nice to have him back in and nice for him to have his baby girl and he’s back in the squad.”
