# Everton suffer big injury setback to £29M Yerry Mina

**Everton have suffered yet another injury setback over centre-back Yerry Mina, with the Colombian set to spend upwards of three weeks on the treatment table.**

### The Lowdown: Injury strikes again

Since signing for Everton in the summer of 2018, arriving from Barcelona, Mina has missed [at least a few](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yerry-mina/verletzungen/spieler/289446) games each season due to injury woes.

Although, this time – at age 28 – the Colombian international has missed more games than ever before across the last two seasons.

Mina suffered an [ankle ligament injury](https://www.evertonfc.com/news/2734770/godfrey-and-mina-injury-updates) on the opening day of the season and upon Everton’s mini pre-season across the World Cup’s international break, the Colombian suffered a [hamstring injury](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/yerry-mina-injury-everton-celtic-25560858) and will need to undergo a scan as a result.

It’s another setback for the star who has already [missed 15 games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yerry-mina/verletzungen/spieler/289446) this season.

### The Latest: Dinnery dishes out disaster-class

Injury expert [Ben Dinnery](https://twitter.com/BenDinnery?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) believes that Mina will endure yet another spell on the sidelines for a minimum of two weeks, though his recovery time could be extended.

Speaking to [GIVEMESPORT](https://www.givemesport.com/88087319-everton-latest-news-star-suffers-injury-setback-goodison-park), Dinnery said: *“It’s a difficult one because, with any hamstring injury, we’re looking at two or three weeks at least.*

*“Certainly, with Yerry Mina, it may be one that you’re just looking at and thinking is that going to stretch even beyond that?*

*“It’s just unfortunate that this is the latest setback and, undoubtedly, it will impact on the remainder of his season.”*

### The Verdict: A gutting blow

At 28-years-old, in and around his prime years, the opposite seems to be occurring for Everton’s [£29m](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11671/11467308/everton-agree-to-sign-yerry-mina-from-barcelona) star.

Over the last two seasons, the ex-Barca defender has missed [32 games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yerry-mina/verletzungen/spieler/289446) and counting for Everton.

With his contract [expiring](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yerry-mina/profil/spieler/289446) next summer, his prospects towards earning a new deal at Goodison Park are looking slim, with the star no longer a reliable feature in the squad.

The latest setback is cruel and could be detrimental to his Everton career.

It’s a gutting blow for both parties with Everton needing all of their reinforcements amidst their relegation dog fight.
