The Colombian is still yet to make his debut for the English side after suffering from discomfort in his foot

Yerry Mina is still waiting to make his debut for Everton. The transfer of Mina saw Barcelona make a huge profit on the young World Cup star but Mina continues to watch his new club from the sidelines. After a foot injury which was originally viewed as a minor knock, it's now dragged on for much longer than anyone expected.

Everton's manager, Marco Silva, announced that he doesn't expect to have Mina available until after the first international break in September.

At the time he picked up the knock in training, it didn't appear serious. There's now a mystery surrounding the potential severity of the injury.

Andre Gomes was already injured when he signed for Everton, picking up the hamstring injury while on preseason with Barcelona, and is also unlikely to feature for the Toffees until after the international break.

It's gone even worse for Lucas Digne. He's been available from the start but only played four minutes in the first league match against Wolves, coming on as a winger rather than at full back. He didn't make the squad for the second match against Southampton and was an unused substitute against Bournemouth.
