# Everton: Fans fume over team news as Yerry Mina ruled out

**Many Everton fans have been left fuming over some early team news ahead of their game at home to Watford in the Premier League this afternoon.**

Speaking in his pre-game press conference ahead of the match against the Hornets at Goodison Park, Rafa Benitez has [revealed](https://twitter.com/Everton/status/1451525864118792197) that Yerry Mina will now miss it, as he has to follow COVID protocols after coming back from international duty with Colombia, while he also felt a tight hamstring in training.

This comes after separate injury setbacks to [Abdoulaye Doucoure](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/injury-news-abdoulaye-doucoure-premier-league/) and [Dominic Calvert-Lewin](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/injury-news-dominic-calvert-lewin/), meaning that the Merseyside club will now have to try and find a way to get all three points without three key members of their squad.

Mina’s importance can be highlighted when the Toffees conceded a goal from a set piece against West Ham United at home last time out to lose 1-0, as the six-foot-five-inches tall central defender certainly gives them a threat in both boxes.
