# Virals: Yerry Mina returns to ‘light training’ ahead of EPL return

[Everton](https://readeverton.com/2021/11/05/frank-mcavennie-calls-for-patience-regarding-rafa-benitez/) centre-back [Yerry Mina](https://readeverton.com/2021/10/21/virals-everton-defender-yerry-mina-proposed-to-ac-milan/) has reportedly returned to light training at Finch Farm ahead of a possible comeback following the international break.

The 27-year-old [hasn’t featured](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yerry-mina/leistungsdaten/spieler/289446) for the Toffees since the 1-1 draw against Manchester United at the start of October and has been a big miss at the heart of the defence.

Now according to the popular Twitter account [The Bobble](https://twitter.com/ElBobble), Mina is on the road to a return to action.

Rafa Benitez’s side managed to put a [stop to the rot](https://www.evertonfc.com/results) prior to the break with a goalless draw against Tottenham at Goodison Park.

Mina had been an imposing figure at the back for the Toffees this season – earning an impressive [6.90 Sofascore rating](https://www.sofascore.com/player/yerry-mina/360396) from six Premier League outings.

### READ EVERTON VERDICT

This will come as a huge boost to the Blues, especially following Mason Holgate’s late [dismissal](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/mason-holgate-everton-future-doubt-22111413) against Spurs.

Often one to polarise opinion amongst the fanbase, the [£18million valued](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yerry-mina/marktwertverlauf/spieler/289446) Columbian has proven to be a big miss in recent weeks.

Returning to face Manchester City is [no easy task](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) but Everton’s chances will be far greater with a full-strength defence in situ.
