Everton’s Vitaliy Mykolenko Faces Serious Injury Ahead of Liverpool Derby
Everton's Ukrainian defender Vitaliy Mykolenko is facing a significant setback as he sustained a 'really serious' thigh injury during the recent international break. The 25-year-old was forced to leave the pitch during Ukraine's friendly match against Germany, raising concerns about his availability for the upcoming Merseyside derby against Liverpool.
Ukraine's national team manager expressed grave concerns over Mykolenko's condition, stating that the injury could sideline him for an extended period.
