Everton to make late call on Mina fitness for Tottenham clash
Everton are monitoring Yerry Mina ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash with Tottenham at Goodison Park.
A late decision will be made on the defender after he came off in the first half of the 2-0 Carabao Cup win over Watford on Tuesday with a recurrence of the knee issue that had seen him sit out the loss at Brighton three days earlier.
Winger Bernard and midfielder Jean-Philippe Gbamin are sidelined by knee and quadriceps injuries respectively.
Tottenham will hand a fitness test to Jan Vertonghen.
The Belgium defender has a hamstring injury and will be assessed before the trip to Merseyside.
Erik Lamela (thigh), Hugo Lloris (elbow) and Danny Rose (suspended) are missing for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
Everton provisional squad: Pickford, Lossl, Holgate, Baines, Keane, Digne, Mina, Sidibe, Coleman, Delph, Sigurdsson, Schneiderlin, Gomes, Davies, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, Walcott, Tosun, Iwobi, Kean.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
