Gets bench minutes Mina (calf) played 36 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Norwich.

Impact Mina went on for Seamus Coleman in the 54th minute Saturday after things weren't working for Everton anywhere on the pitch. Mina is healthy again, but playing time remains unknown if they continue with a four-man back line, as Ben Godfrey and Michael Keane have been starters all season.

Takes part in training Mina (calf) took part in limited training Wednesday ahead of Saturday's trip to Norwich.

Impact Mina has been out more than a month with this calf issue and given that he's not training fully, he probably won't be an option to start Saturday. The good news is that he's edging closer to fitness and will hope to get more time in the second half of the season after starting just once since early October.

Status uncertain Mina (calf) was not mentioned by manager Rafa Benitez in his press conference ahead of Thursday's clash with Chelsea.

Impact Considering Benitez didn't provide any sort of update on Mina, fantasy players should probably be expecting him to miss out Thursday. With Lucas Digne (illness) unavailable and Seamus Coleman (foot) in doubt, the Toffees backline could be stretching the depths of the squad.

Back on sidelines Mina (calf) will be unavailable against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Impact Mina was just one match back from a six-game stint on the shelf due to a hamstring issue but once again finds himself watching from the sidelines. Without Mina in the squad, the Toffees will likely utilize Ben Godfrey in a central defensive role alongside Michael Keane.

Doesn't make it to halftime Mina was subbed off in the 32nd minute of Monday's match against Arsenal due to a calf issue.

Impact Mina returned to training last week and clearly it was a mistake to start in his first match back. It's unclear why he was pushed into the XI without even a full week of training and a recurrence of injury is what happens with hamstrings, though you can also suffer other injuries when you're putting more pressure on them. Mason Holgate came on for him Monday with Ben Godfrey already in at left-back.

Back in starting XI Mina (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Monday's match against Arsenal.

Impact Mina returns to the XI Monday after missing the last six weeks with a hamstring injury. It's a quick return for the center-back, whose return pushes Ben Godfrey out to left-back with Lucas Digne not in the squad.

Training with squad Mina (hamstring) has resumed training with the first team and could be in contention against Arsenal on Monday. Manager Rafa Benitez told reporters, "Yerry Mina has today [Friday]...

Impact Mina's return to the squad would certainly be a boost to the Everton backline that has conceded eight goals in its last three contests. If deemed fit, Mina should be a lock for the starting XI, which could see either Ben Godfrey or Michael Keane relegated to the bench.

Unavailable for Merseyside Derby Mina (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's derby clash with Liverpool.

Impact Mina last featured for the club Oct. 2 versus Manchester United, a stretch of six games on the shelf. While the defender offers limited offensive upside, his absence will stretch a backline that remains without Mason Holgate (suspension). Once cleared to play, Mina is a near-lock to return to the starting XI.

Still sidelined Sunday Mina (hamstring) won't be ready to play against Brentford on Sunday. Manager Rafa Benitez told reporters, "Yerry is doing well but still not ready."

Impact Mina's continued absence will see Michael Keane and Ben Godfrey once again holding down the central defensive roles. With the busy December schedule ahead, the Toffees could certainly use the added depth on the back line as they are without a lot of additional options outside of the youth setup.

Won't play Sunday Mina (hamstring) will not be ready to play in Sunday's clash with Manchester City.

Impact Mina's continued absence will stretch an Everton backline that will already be without Mason Holgate (suspension). As such, fantasy players should expect Ben Godfrey to remain in a central defensive role alongside Michael Keane. For his part, Mina should be a near-lock for the starting XI once cleared to play.

Returns to training Mina (hamstring) was pictured in training Thursday early in the international break.

Impact Mina will have about a week of training before Everton play again, so the thought is that he'll be ready for the Nov. 21 trip to Man City. The defender has been out since early October and will need to fight for a spot in the starting XI with Ben Godfrey doing well alongside Michael Keane.

Will train over break Mina (hamstring) is set to train over the break, according to manager Rafa Benitez. "Yerry is close. He didn't have the time to be ready for this game. In a few days he can join th...

Impact Mina's return would be a welcome boost to the back line, mainly because Mason Holgate was sent off last match. If he can get a full week of training in before the Nov. 21 contest, there's a decent chance he'll be in the XI against Man City.

Remains sidelined Sunday Mina (hamstring) will miss out against Tottenham on Sunday.

Impact Mina will be on the shelf for his third straight contest due to his lingering hamstring problem. Once cleared to play, the Columbian defender should retake his place in the starting XI, which could see Michael Keane relegated to a spot on the bench. Even once fully fit, Mina shouldn't be expected to generate much in the way of fantasy value given his lack of offensive upside.

Ruled out versus Wolves Mina (hamstring) will not be available against Wolverhampton on Monday.

Impact Mina will be sidelined for his second straight contest due to his hamstring issue. Once fully fit, the Columbian should be a near-lock for the starting XI and figures to relegated Michael Keane or Ben Godfrey onto the bench. Primarily a defensive stat producer, Mina does pose a threat on corners in the opposition box and could occasionally pick up a goal.

Out against Watford Mina suffered a hamstring tweak in a recent training session and will miss Saturday's match against Watford, according to manager Rafa Benitez.

Impact Mina played 90 minutes in all three matches over the international break and it's likely this issue has something to do with that. The hope is that it's only a tweak and he'll be an option next week, but until that happens, Ben Godfrey and Michael Keane are expected to continue at center-back.

Doubt to face Hammers Mina is a late test for Sunday's match against West Ham because he's returning late from international duty with Colombia.

Impact At best, Mina will return to Everton on Friday and get a training session in before Sunday's match. Some of that depends on if he plays a full 90 Thursday with Colombia, but considering he's been a regular, there's a decent chance Mason Holgate will enter the XI for him.

Six clearances, three interceptions Mina recorded six clearances and three interceptions during a 2-0 win Saturday versus Norwich City.

Impact Mina recorded more clearances and interceptions than those his teammates logged Saturday. Concerning the two statistical categories, he must continue supplying great tallies to start in place of Everton's younger yet starter-level central defenders (Ben Godfrey and Mason Holgate).

Back in starting XI Mina (knock) is in the starting XI for Monday's match against Burnley.

Impact Mina returns to the XI Monday after missing the match before the break with a knock. This time, he's starting over Mason Holgate, something that will continue to be musical chairs at center-back for Everton this season.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Back in full training Mina (knock) is back in full training and is available for Monday's match against Burnley, according to manager Rafa Benitez.

Impact Mina started the second match of the season and similar to last campaign, he'll likely be moved in and out of the XI. The worst part is that it's never known who will start on Everton's back line, as Mason Holgate and Michael Keane also see a considerable amount of time on the pitch.
