Everton resume Premier League action on June 21 with the Merseyside derby, and have been dealt a massive injury blow with Colombian centre-back Yerry Mina set to miss the clash against Liverpool.
The defender tore a thigh muscle in training last Friday and is said to be facing several weeks out, leaving Mason Holgate and Michael Keane as the only fit centre-back options.
However, in what is potentially good news, sources close to Mina have told The Athletic that they believe he could return to action before the end of June.
