Everton boss Marco Silva reveals Yerry Mina is back in full training

Everton manager Marco Silva has revealed that Yerry Mina has been in full training all week ahead of their clash with Arsenal on Super Sunday.

Mina is yet to make his Everton debut due to a foot injury and Silva refused to confirm whether the Colombian international would be involved against the Gunners.

"Mina is working with the team, for the full week until now," said Silva.

"He's getting better every day, getting in good fitness as well."

Silva also confirmed that Seamus Coleman, Phil Jagielka and Andre Gomes would be unavailable for the trip to the Emirates, but that some were returning to training.

"Some good news, some of the injured players have started full training with the squad," he added.

"We keep the same situation with Jags, I think next week he'll start with the squad. Gomes is still out and it's the same situation with Coleman."
