Marco Silva has confirmed Yerry Mina’s Everton debut remains on hold after the former Barcelona defender sustained a foot injury in training this week. Everton’s £28m summer signing has yet to make an appearance for his new club this season having arrived with a foot problem suffered during the World Cup with Colombia.

The central defender returned to first team training two weeks ago and had been in contention to feature against Fulham at Goodison Park on Saturday. However, a training ground collision with Bernard has postponed Mina’s debut once again.

“Two days ago he suffered a stamp on his foot from Bernard,” said Silva, who could start the Brazilian midfielder against Fulham. “It was painful but nothing serious. Hopefully next week he starts to work with the team again.”

Silva confirmed that summer signing Andre Gomes should also start first team training next week, having been sidelined so far by a hamstring problem, and Seamus Coleman will also return after Saturday’s game.
