Mykolenko (knock) has made significant progress in his recovery and could be available for Saturday's Premier League clash against Chelsea, according to coach David Moyes. "Myko's doing much better. Myko's got a chance for the game."
Analysis:Mykolenko is nearing a return after missing Sunday's draw against Hull City due to a knock sustained while representing Ukraine against Hungary during the international break. The left-back returned early from international duty but was unable to recover in time for the Hull matchup, forcing manager Moyes to adjust his defensive lineup and deploy Michael Keane in his absence. However, the defender's condition has improved considerably over the past week, giving him a realistic chance of returning against Chelsea. Mykolenko has been a regular presence on the left side of Everton's defense this season, and his potential return would provide Moyes with a boost ahead of Saturday's contest.
