Impact Mykolenko had the misfortune of getting in the way of a ball that Jordan Pickford had saved in the first half, sending it into his own net, but the full-back made up for that action with a pass that allowed Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to score in the 75th minute Saturday. Although it's not unusual for Mykolenko to push forward, the assist was only his first direct contribution to the score sheet in 22 club starts this season. He has tellied eight shots (two on goal), 15 crosses (five accurate), 19 clearances and six interceptions over his last five games in all competitions.

Impact Mykolenko has suffered a knock last week that kept him out of play, but after training this week, the defender has been deemed fit again and an option for Saturday. The defender will likely return to his spot at left-back, as his last missed start ahead of their previous game was Sept. 13. That said, he is still in search of his first goal contribution this campaign, still without one in 20 appearances.

Impact Mykolenko won't be available to feature in Saturday's clash against the Seagulls after suffering a knock in the final training session ahead of the game and being unable to recover in time. The left-back will hope to return next week ahead of next Saturday's clash against Fulham at Craven Cottage. Jarrad Branthwaite is set to start at left-back on Saturday for the Toffees in place of Mykolenko.

Whips in four crosses Mykolenko generated one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Leeds United.

Impact Mykolenko would have a decent two-way game despite not seeing a goal contribution or the clean sheet, with one shot, two chances created and four crosses in the attack to go along with one interception, two tackles and three clearances in the defense. The defender is still working towards his first goal contribution this season, with three goal contributions last season in 35 appearances, already appearing in 20 games this campaign.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

One tackle in clean sheet Mykolenko generated one cross (zero accurate) and one tackle in Tuesday's 2-0 win versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact Mykolenko has not missed a game for Everton since mid-September and has played a central role in the club's defensive improvement. The Toffees have recorded six clean sheets in their last nine matches, with the fullback totaling 16 tackles in that span, including at least one in each of his last eight appearances, while adding eight interceptions and 46 clearances with a minimum of two in every game. Offensively, he created six chances, attempted one shot and delivered 23 crosses, with at least one in each game.

Four starts since the break Mykolenko has gone the full 90 minutes in all four of Everton's matches since the October international break, reinforcing his status as an undisputed starter under coach David Moy...

Impact Mykolenko has continued to remain a key figure for Everton this season, having played 540 minutes without rest in the Premier League. He has created three chances and provided two successful crosses in this time, limiting his overall attacking impact. The Everton defense has also kept only one clean sheet in the six Premier League games Mykolenko has participated in. Mykolenko should continue to play full matches going forward, but his lack of attacking and defensive success is concerning.

NOVEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Three starts since return Mykolenko (undisclosed) made three consecutive starts following his return from injury, confirming he is now fully fit for Everton.

Impact Mykolenko dealt with an injury earlier in the season that now seems behind him since the defender has started three straight games following his return, contributing 10 crosses, five interceptions, and 16 clearances in that span while helping the team secure a key win last time out against Crystal Palace.

OCTOBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Makes Starting XI Mykolenko (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Liverpool.

Impact Mykolenko has recovered from his recent undisclosed injury and returns directly to Everton's starting XI for Saturday's Merseyside derby against Liverpool. He missed international duty with Ukraine and the previous club game but was able to work his way back to full fitness in time. The left-back has been a locked-in starter for Everton when available and is expected to keep that role moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Could return against Liverpool Mykolenko (undisclosed) is making progress and could return for Saturday's Merseyside derby against Liverpool, coach David Moyes said in the press conference.

Impact Mykolenko is making progress towards a return from his undisclosed injury that made him miss international duty with Ukraine and the last game with the Toffees. That said, the defender hasn't been ruled out for the Merseyside derby against Liverpool on Saturday and could maybe be part of the squad. This is good news since Mykolenko has been an undisputed starter at left-back for Everton and should claim that role back once at full fitness.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not available Saturday Mykolenko (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Aston Villa.

Impact Mykolenko made his return from injury in the Carabao Cup and played a full match against Wolves before linking up with Ukraine. He later left the national team camp after noticing the previous issue hadn't fully cleared up. That said, while the problem is believed to be minor, Mykolenko is still not available for Saturday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Mykolenko returned from injury in a Carabao Cup game before completing 90 minutes against Wolves right before the international break and joined the Ukraine squad happy and fit. That said, he felt during the camp that he wasn't quite right with the issue and decided to leave to head back to the Toffees. That said, the problem appears to be minor and if he is near full fitness Mykolenko will likely start in the backline against the Villains on Saturday. If he can't make it James Garner will likely switch to left back instead of his natural midfield role.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers setback with Ukraine Mykolenko (undisclosed) suffered a setback from his injury and has been withdrawn from the Ukraine squad, according to the Liverpool Echo.

Impact Mykolenko has been spotted saying goodbye to his Ukraine teammates while on international duty as he is heading back to Everton to recover from a setback suffered from his injury. The left-back recently returned from injury in the Carabao Cup game against Mansfield Town before playing the full match against Wolves on Saturday. That said, this setback is a blow for the Toffees since he will have to be replaced in the starting squad if he has to miss time on the sidelines, with James Garner a possible option to switch to left-back instead of his natural midfield role or youngster Adam Aznou who still has not featured with the senior team yet.

Impact Mykolenko is working towards full fitness after making his return from injury in Wednesday's Carabao Cup game against Mansfield Town. The left-back could potentially make the starting XI on Saturday against Wolves according to his coach. The Ukrainian made 35 appearances last season, all as a starter, and helped the Toffees secure 10 clean sheets, establishing himself as an important piece in the backline when fit.

AUGUST 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returns Wednesday Mykolenko (undisclosed) started and played 87 minutes during Wednesday's Carabao Cup match against Mansfield Town.

Impact Mykolenko was deemed not fit for Sunday's clash with Brighton, but was surprisingly eligible for 87 minutes against Mansfield Town. It's an interesting situation for the defender, but if he's back to full fitness he's likely the top choice at left-back immediately in all competitions.

AUGUST 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not fit for Sunday Mykolenko (undisclosed) is not an option for Sunday's match against Brighton, according to manager David Moyes.

Impact Mykolenko was a close call for last week's season opener, but won't even be given a chance Sunday, with the defender now listed as out. This is going to leave the club without its typical left-back, with James Garner likely to maintain the role there until Mykolenko is fit.

Uncertain status for Monday Mykolenko (undisclosed) will be a late call for Monday's match against Leeds United, manager David Moyes told media during his pre-match press conference Friday. "We may have [Myko...

Impact Moyes didn't reveal whether the left-back will be available for the season opener, though the manager's words certainly leave the door open for him to be available. If Mykolenko, who was taken off in the team's latest friendly match against AS Roma due to an undisclosed injury, is unable to go, this would force Adam Aznou into the starting lineup in the left-back role.

AUGUST 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Off with injury Mykolenko was taken off 12 minutes into a friendly against Roma on Saturday due to an apparent injury, according to manager David Moyes. "We'll wait to see what the report says, we...

Impact Mykolenko looks to be on the verge of missing the season opener after he had to be taken off early in a friendly on Saturday. This is a tough blow for the club as he is their starting left-back, although they are still waiting on testing results. This would force a change to enter the season, with Adam Aznou as a possible replacement if Mykolenko can't make the opening matchday.

AUGUST 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Logs assist in season finale Mykolenko delivered an assist, created two chances, sent in four crosses (two accurate), made one tackle, three clearances and two interceptions, helped his side to keep a clean sh...

Impact Mykolenko didn't stuff the stat sheet as he did on the previous game but was still very productive from the left flank, solid on defense and dangerous on offense, with one of his crosses becoming an assist for Carlos Alcaraz to score the game-winner in the 65th minute. The left-back produced great defensive numbers during the entire campaign but his improvement on the attacking end (one goal, two assists over his last 11 starts) show some fantasy upside for next year.

MAY 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Active on both ends Mykolenko recorded one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-0 win over Southampton.

Impact May has seen three Everton games, each in which Mykolenko attempted multiple crosses. Unfortunately for him, among his 11 total crosses, none of them were accurate. Defensively, Mykolenko has seen much more productivity, with 11 clearances, six interceptions and six tackles won. More importantly, Mykolenko's overall form is more so on the upswing than a downswing, which is welcoming news as he looks to finish his 2024-25 season strong.

MAY 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Equalizes before halftime Mykolenko scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-1 win against Fulham.

Impact Mykolenko scored Everton's equalizer in first-half stoppage time with a shot from the edge of the box that deflected off Andreas Pereira and left the goalie with no chance to stop it. He also contributed defensively with two tackles and two clearances while recovering from an early error that led to Fulham's goal. His overall performance helped shift the momentum in Everton's favor. He will look to contribute again against Southampton on Sunday.

MAY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Forest Mykolenko (thigh) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Mykolenko is back from his thigh injury after missing out last week, no surprise after training this week. He is starting immediately and should continue in this role when fit, starting in all 29 of his appearances this campaign.

Impact Mykolenko missed Saturday's clash against Arsenal due to a thigh injury but was spotted training with the team this week, suggesting he is in a good position to return to the match squad Saturday against Nottingham Forest. He has been an undisputed starter this season and should return directly to the starting squad if deemed fit.

APRIL 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Arsenal Mykolenko will miss Saturday's game versus Arsenal due to a knock, the Liverpool Echo reported.

Impact Mykolenko gutted it out midweek but won't be available for this one and will look to recover for the next match on April 12. Nathan Patterson is filling in for him defensively.

APRIL 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Mykolenko is back with the team following his though injury, immediately seeing a spot in the starting XI. The defender will miss no time due to his issues and should remain in a starting role moving forward, starting in all 27 of his appearances this season.
