A new edition of the Merseyside derby is coming between Everton FC vs Liverpool at Anfield Stadium. While in the home team, Luis Diaz, who scored and assisted in the classic against Manchester United, is expected to be local. On the other hand, Yerry Mina in the away team might not be taken into account by Frank Lampard.

At the pre-match press conference that will be played this Sunday, April 24 at 10:30 in the morning, the coach of the 'Toffee' did not confirm the presence of the central defender. The player played the entire game against Leicester City where his team drew 1-1, however, he prefers not to risk it because he comes from a delicate injury that took him away for a long time from the courts:

Yerry Mina was out of court for more than 70 days after suffering from an injury to the quadriceps of his left leg. The Colombian had to leave the field of play in the match that his team lost to Newcastle after feeling the discomfort, from which at that time a few days ago he had recovered from.

The human rights defender had to undergo some medical examinations to determine whether surgery was necessary to recover the muscle. Fortunately it was not necessary and his problem was solved with therapies and strengthening in the gym. The recovery plan stipulated by the medical department was very careful to prevent the Colombian national team player from relapsing to this injury.

Everton FC's priority in this championship closing is to save himself from relegation. That is why Frank Lampard recognizes the demand that a difficult match against Liverpool requires and is confident that Mina can be more important in one of the seven remaining games to end the season.

The remaining matches for the 'Toffees' are against Chelsea (L), Leicester City (V), Watford (V), Brentford (L), Crystal Palace (L) and will close against Arsenal as a visitor. The team led by Frank Lampard adds 29 points in the standings to one from Burnley who is placed in square 18, where the relegation zone begins in the Premier League. However, it has the advantage of having a pending match which would make it easier to stay.

The other teams committed to relegation are Watford, where Juan Camilo Hernandez plays, with 22 points in 32 games played and Norwich City with 21 points in the same number of matches played.
