Frank Lampard provides Everton defensive injury update

Everton manager Frank Lampard has provided an update on the fitness of several defenders.

The Toffees struggled at the back on Monday night when they were defeated 5-0 by Tottenham Hotspur, which left the club just one point above the Premier League relegation zone.

Michael Keane had to be substituted during the fixture, as he was dealing with an illness, which has added more concerns for the club as they prepare for the weekend.

"Ben Godfrey is back training this week, Yerry Mina is going to be another four or five weeks at least," Lampard told the press.

"We do not have options in that area of the pitch. As you see with any squad, if you lose two main centre halves it makes things very difficult."

Everton will be back in action on Sunday when they face Wolverhampton Wanderers.
