Everton will have to wait a minimum of three weeks before their first glimpse of Yerry Mina as the Colombian centre-half continues his injury recovery.

Mina arrived at Goodison Park with what is being described as ‘a slight foot problem’ sustained playing for his country against England at the World Cup.

His manager, Marco Silva, has confirmed the £27.2 million recruit will not be ready until after the international break, with a home game against West Ham United on September 16 the first realistic target for his debut.

“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).”
