Jagielka 2.0: Lampard must unleash £2.7m-rated Everton titan who "has got everything" - opinion

Everton have been suffering with an injury crisis throughout this season, seeing many key players missing for large chunks of the season which has inevitably led to the side falling into 16th in the Premier League, and struggling to gain wins to climb out of a potential relegation battle.

But, new manager Frank Lampard has been able to guide the Toffees to their first win in the league since the beginning of December with a 3-0 victory over Leeds United, and momentum is now well and truly in their favour.

The task is still not complete and with further injuries racking up since the ex-Chelsea bosses arrival, it could be a good opportunity to look at the youth Everton have on offer.

Yerry Mina has now sustained his second serious injury of the season, with the player already missing 39 days for Everton over October and November last year, and will now be missing for at least 8-10 weeks as Lampard confirms that the thigh injury was more serious than first thought.

With that being said, Lampard should be capitalising on the opportunity to develop a younger player, something he was renowned for doing at Chelsea and Derby during his managerial career, giving Mason Mount and Reece James their Premier League debuts who have now gone on to be integral to their side, winning the Champions League following his departure from Stamford Bridge.

One player that has already proven he can make an impact on this Everton side is Jarrad Branthwaite, who was given his Premier League debut by Rafael Benitez when the side found themselves in an injury crisis at the end of last year ahead of their clash at Stamford Bridge.
