'Back in contention' - Adam Jones shares another Everton injury boost v Leicester alongside Mina

Adam Jones has now shared another Everton injury boost before they play Leicester City at home in the Premier League tonight.

This is another big game for the Merseyside club as they look to avoid relegation down to the Championship.

They are currently just three points above the drop zone ahead of the match in front of their supporters at Goodison Park, and with tricky games against Liverpool and Chelsea to come, a win against the Foxes would simply be huge.

Taking to Twitter, The Liverpool Echo journalist Jones has now shared some comments from Frank Lampard in his pre-game press conference.

In what will come as a relief to the fans, Yerry Mina is finally back ‘in the squad‘ after a while out injured, as is Donny van de Beek, who is also ‘back in contention‘ after a spell out through illness, injury and family commitments.

Not only is it a huge boost to have Mina back in the heart of defence, but van de Beek should add some guile through the spine of midfield.

The Manchester United loanee ranks highly among his teammates in terms of average tackles and passes per match in the top flight, while his 84.9% pass accuracy is the highest out of any Toffees player to have made five or more appearances in the division (WhoScored).

He could well be the key to unlocking the door tonight, and will no doubt play a part under former attacking midfield legend himself Frank Lampard.
