Many Everton fans have been bemoaning some early team news ahead of their Premier Leaguematch at home to Brighton and Hove Albion today.

As per journalist Alan Myers, new signing Vitaliy Mykolenko is 'not eligible' to play at Goodison Park this afternoon.

The Merseyside club had announced the Ukrainian's signature on their official website on Saturday morning, but they will not be able to see a first glimpse of him when they take on the Seagulls today.

Of course, there is still speculation surrounding the future of the recently-overlooked Lucas Digne as well, so Rafael Benitez's team may go into the game without a recognised left-back, which in turn could affect their chances of getting all three points against Graham Potter's side.
