Alarms go off at Goodison Park and at manager Carlos Queiroz's offices. In the 41st minute of the match between Everton and Watford, Colombian center-back Yerry Mina had to leave the game for the English League Cup. According to the first reports, the footballer's knee injury had worsened.
In fact, the defender was already in doubt for Tuesday's match, but nevertheless, manager Marco Silva lined him up as a starter, which has caused discontent from the other side of the pond, as today Colombia's national team coach announced his list for the upcoming FIFA friendly matches in two weeks, where Mina was called up.
Now, after what happened, the former Barcelona player is in doubt for the next matches of the Colombian national team, against Peru on November 15th in Miami, and against Ecuador on the 19th of the same month in New Jersey.

One of Everton's most consistent players
Yerry Mina has become a key piece for Marco Silva, who, despite the poor results, always defended the Colombian, as he has been one of the few who stood out week after week. Against Watford, Silva didn't want him to be an exception, so the player from Guachené started the match.
