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. This development is a major blow for Everton, who are already grappling with a series of injuries to key players. The club is now bracing for the possibility of missing up to five first-team players for the crucial clash against their city rivals.

Mykolenko, who has been a regular starter for Everton this season, is set to undergo a detailed scan to assess the extent of his thigh injury. Fantasy football enthusiasts and Everton fans alike will be anxiously awaiting the results, as his absence could significantly impact the team's defensive lineup in the upcoming fixtures.
