Yerry Mina is back out on the grass at USM Finch Farm after overcoming a minor setback in his recovery from a foot injury.

Colombia international Mina, signed from Barcelona in August, initially started working with his new teammates at USM Finch Farm three weeks ago following a month of rehabilitation.

The central defender was forced back to the sidelines after bruising his foot in a training-ground collision but has now resumed work as he builds his way towards being available for Marco Silva's side.

When fully fit, Mina will add to Silva's rich options in the middle of his defence. Michael Keane and Kurt Zouma have both performed strongly in Everton's past three matches, with Mason Holgate and captain Phil Jagielka also pushing for starts.

Mina was one of the standout players of the Russian World Cup during the summer. The 24-year-old helped Colombia record two clean sheets and scored three goals in as many appearances, including a stoppage-time equaliser in his country's last-16 clash with England.
