Marco Silva reveals when Yerry Mina will be ready to make his Everton debut

Yerry Mina is likely to have to wait until after the international break to make his Everton debut, according to Marco Silva.

The Colombia international moved to Goodison Park on deadline day having previously appeared destined for Manchester United.

Mina arrived on Merseyside with a slight foot problem sustained playing for his country against England at the World Cup but should be ready to make his eagerly anticipated first appearance against West Ham next month.

It is something he is recovering from – an old injury – not something that happened here, but not something special, said Silva.

The report I had from our medical staff it is not serious, but you have to take more days to get him to that level (needed).

Fellow new recruits Lucas Digne and Andre Gomes who, like Mina, both joined from Barcelona, are also set to miss this weekends trip to Bournemouth.

But Brazilian Bernard is progressing well as he pushes to make his first Everton appearance.
