With Kurt Zouma out of contention to face his parent club next week, Toffees fans are raising their desires for Yerry Mina to finally make his debut.
Mina arrived at Goodison Park in the summer for £27million on the back of a stellar Word Cup with Colombia that saw the towering centre-back regularly find the net, including his country’s stoppage time equaliser against his now team-mate, England number one Jordan Pickford.
When the 24-year-old moved to Everton from Barcelona, however, the 6 foot 5 defender was carrying a foot injury that kept him out of Marco Silva’s plans until the end of September, and rendered him sidelined for a further three-weeks, meaning his last time on the playing field was against England at the summer’s World Cup in Russia.
With a tough Premier League test against Chelsea creeping up on Silva and the Stamford Bridge encounter now just over a week away, plans are starting to be drawn up on how the Blues can come away from their London trip with something to show for it.
As Zouma is still contracted to Chelsea, fans do not like the idea of throwing Mina straight in at the deep end and would prefer a preparation test in the form of this weekend’s visit of Brighton to Merseyside.
