Frank Lampard hopeful Yerry Mina will be fit for Leicester City

Everton manager Frank Lampard has provided an injury update on central defender Yerry Mina ahead of their match with Leicester City.

The 27-year-old has been out of action since February 8 with a hamstring injury in what has been a difficult season for him in terms of fitness, having only featured in 10 of their 30 Premier League games this season.

The Toffees were able to call upon Fabian Delph and Seamus Coleman for their victory against Manchester United, and now they are looking to bring the Colombian international in to face Leicester.

"I have not had Delphy around, seeing Yerry Mina in the dressing room who is hopefully going to be fit for the next game," Lampard told the press.

"We need to keep everyone fit, we are strong, simple as that, and the boys who came in, we need people who know positionally where to be and they showed that."

Lampard had previously revealed that Donny van de Beek should also be available for the clash against Leicester, which could provide him with yet another option.
