Everton are increasingly confident that Yerry Mina will be fit to return to the side after the international break.
Rafa Benitez said: “Yerry is close but we didn’t have time for this game. But he is very close. In a few days, hopefully he can join the team and start training and then we will see how he is progressing. But I am optimistic about Yerry and we will see if he’s fine.”
