Expected to miss out Saturday Mykolenko, who was forced off against Doncaster on Wednesday, is expected to be unavailable for Saturday's clash with Sheffield United.

Impact It's a tough blow for Mykolenko who dealt with an injury during the preseason and was making his first appearance of the 2023-24 campaign in the Carabao Cup clash with Doncaster. With Mykolenko again shelved due to his apparent leg injury, Ashley Young figures to remain in the starting XI.

Starts in Cup win Mykolenko got the start and created one chance before coming off with a knock during Wednesday's 2-1 win over Doncaster.

Impact Mykolenko made his first start of 2022-23 in the EFL Cup against Doncaster Rovers. The knock the left-back suffered didn't appear to be serious, though if it limits his availability for a Saturday trip to Sheffield it would likely be Ashley Young to get the start at left-back once more.

On bench against Villa Mykolenko went unused on the bench during Sunday's 4-0 loss to Aston Villa.

Impact Mykolenko was reportedly still building match fitness after a pre-season injury and went unused on the bench in the opening two matches. Ashley Young got the start at left-back in place of Mykolenko, though when fit Mykolenko is likely to be the starter. In 2022-23 Mykolenko made 34 appearances (30 starts) breaking out as a true mainstay in the backline.

Still recovering Mykolenko isn't fully match fit for Sunday's trip to Aston Villa, according to manager Sean Dyche. "Arnaut Danjuma and Vitalii Mykolenko still have a bit to do."

Impact Mykolenko picked up a muscular injury during pre-season and hasn't made a full return yet. The wing-back is likely to be the top option when back to full fitness especially after makin 34 appearances during the 2022-23 Premier League.

Comes off bench in friendly Mykolenko (undisclosed) came off the bench and played 24 minutes in Saturday's 1-0 friendly win over Sporting Lisbon.

Impact Mykolenko took part in Everton's final pre-season match and came off the bench midway through the second half. If there are no setbacks, he could be ready to feature in the season opener against Fulham next Saturday.

Plays in closed door friendly Mykolenko played 45 minutes during Tuesday's closed door friendly against Monza.

Impact Mykolenko has not been in full match fitness this preseason, but was able to feature in Tuesday's friendly against Monza. It is unclear if he will be ready for Aug 12 opener against Fulham. If this is the case, then Ben Godfrey could see the start at left back in his place.

Getting run with Ukraine Mykolenko (thigh) returned from injury and started for Ukraine in recent Euro qualifiers.

Impact Mykolenko is healthy again after missing the final three matches of the season with a thigh injury. He took over at left-back for Everton last season en route to 30 starts and figures to hold that spot unless Sean Dyche really wants to mix things up. The downside for Mykolenko is that he didn't make the score-sheet and had just 10 shots and 19 chances created in his 34 league appearances.

JUNE 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Misses final three matches Mykolenko (thigh) finished the 2023-24 campaign on the shelf.

Impact Mykolenko started 30 of 34 appearances for the Toffees this season before ending the year on the sidelines due to his thigh problem. In those contests, the left-back registered 57 crosses (14 accurate), 10 shots (three on target) and 88 clearances. While the Ukrainian defender figures to be the first-choice option next season, the club will be looking for additional coverage at the position following the return of Ruben Vinagre to his parent club.

Unable to return for Sunday Mykolenko is not in the match day squad to face Bournemouth on Sunday.

Impact Mykolenko misses out on Sunday's match as he was unable to recover from a thigh injury. Everton will deploy a back three set up utilizing James Garner and Dwight McNeal as wing-backs.

Could return Sunday Mykolenko (thigh) may be available for Sunday's season finale clash with Bournemouth. Manager Sean Dyche told reporters, "He's a bit better so we will see how he reacts tomorrow to...

Impact Mykolenko has been out of action for the club's last two contests due to his thigh problem. Prior to his absence, the left-back made five straight starts in which he registered 18 clearances, 12 interceptions and nine crosses (zero accurate). Without Seamus Coleman (knee), Nathan Patterson (hamstring) or Ruben Vinagre (Achilles)aaa, the club could really use a wing-back to help bolster the backline.

Expected to miss Wolves match Mykolenko (thigh) has not trained this week and is unlikely to be ready for Saturday's trip to Wolverhampton, according to manager Sean Dyche. "He has got a chance for the next one...

Impact It's a tough situation for Everton, as they are missing multiple full-backs during the run-in, which doesn't help their chances of getting out of relegation. Mason Holgate started at left-back in last week's match against Man City, but that experiment didn't last 60 minutes against Riyad Mahrez. There's a chance Dyche changes the formation to three center-backs with Conor Coady back in the XI given they don't have a true left-back in the squad.

MAY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out with thigh injury Mykolenko is not in the match day squad to face Manchester City on Sunday due to a thigh injury.

Impact Mykolenko misses out on Sunday's match after succumbing to the injury in the buildup. The fullback gives way to Mason Holgate in the starting XI.

MAY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Three clearances in draw Mykolenko made a block, three clearances and two interceptions in Monday's 2-2 draw against Leicester City. He also won one of one tackles in the match.

Impact Mykolenko has started four consecutive games at left-back following a spell in March where he was the second choice in the position behind Ben Godfrey (groin).

MAY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will be option Saturday Mykolenko (illness) is back in training and will be available for Saturday's match against Brentford, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact It looks like a one-match absence for Mykolenko, who was replaced by Ben Godfrey in the draw against Nottingham Forest. It wouldn't be surprising if Godfrey held onto the starting XI another match, though if deemed fit for 90 following the illness, Mykolenko is expected to be the preferred option at left-back.

MARCH 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out with illness Mykolenko is not in the match day squad to face Nottingham Forest on Sunday due to illness.

Impact Mykolenko misses out on Sunday's match with Ben Godfrey taking his place in the Everton back four. The fullback will hope to return in time for next week's match against Brentford.

MARCH 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starts friendly down under Mykolenko (undisclosed) started Everton's friendly against Celtic, playing 66 minutes before coming off.

Impact Mykolenko appears to have put his injury concerns behind him, featuring for the club while participating in the Sydney Super Cup. The left-back has started all 15 of his appearances for the Toffees in the EPL this season and should continue to start once the league resumes play.

DECEMBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Off in first half Mykolenko was forced off in the first half of Saturday's match with Bournemouth due to an undisclosed injury.

Impact Mykolenko lasted 26 minutes before succumbing to the injury and being replaced by Sheamus Coleman. The full-back will have just over a month to recover before Everton's next league match.

NOVEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Five crosses in draw Mykolenko sent in five crosses (two accurate) and added two interceptions during Saturday's scoreless draw with Everton.

Impact Saturday's outing wasn't particularly fruitful for fantasy purposes, but Mykolenko did well to finish second on his squad in crosses for the match. He was also a key contributor in maintaining the clean sheet for the full 90, and the result represents Everton's second shutout in as many matches.

Battling issue over break Mykolenko felt a problem in the recent win against West Ham and was rested in Ukraine's loss against Scotland on Wednesday. Prior to the match he revealed to The Echo, "I felt disc...

Impact This doesn't seem like a major worry, but it was enough to hold Mykolenko out of Ukraine's game Wednesday. For now, it seems like he'll be good to go following the break unless things don't get better for him in the coming days. Even then, there's still a chance he could feature in Ukraine's next match if he's feeling well enough.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Generates five crosses Mykolenko registered five crosses (one accurate), one corner and five tackles (three won) in a 1-0 victory over West Ham United on Sunday.

Impact Mykolenko has started all seven of the club's matches to start the season and has offered decent fantasy value given his ability to push the attack from the left side. Still, the defender isn't a major factor on corners, a role that's primarily gone to Demarai Gray, which will limit him to mid-range fantasy value.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting season strong Mykolenko has generated five crosses (two accurate), one corner and three chances created through the first two matches of the season.

Impact Mykolenko started 12 of his final 13 appearances for Everton last season and has cemented himself as the preferred left-wingback option for the Toffees. Still, the Ukrainian will need to keep up his strong run of form with new addition Ruben Vinagre still awaiting his first start after joining Everton during the summer.

AUGUST 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Features heavily in squad Mykolenko started 10 of the club's final 11 games of the year in which he recorded one goal on eight shots (two on target) and 36 crosses (seven accurate).

Impact Mykolenko dealt with some fitness concerns following his arrival from Dynamo Kyiv during the January transfer window but featured heavily for the club down the stretch. The Ukrainian defender should continue to be a fixture in the starting XI for Everton next season and should offer solid top-half fantasy value given his ability to push the attack from the back line.

JUNE 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Good to face Watford Mykolenko is available for Wednesday's trip to Watford after leaving the prior contest with a cramp, according to manager Frank Lampard.

Impact As suspected, it was only a cramp for Mykolenko and he has a good chance of remaining in the starting XI Wednesday. Of course, Jonjoe Kenny could receive a start being on a short week, but since Mykolenko isn't injured, he's in play to get his eighth-straight start in a favorable matchup.

MAY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Opens scoring, leaves with possible cramp Mykolenko scored the opener in Sunday's 2-1 win against Leicester City but was forced off in the 66th minute with a possible cramp.

Impact Mykolenko scored a goal almost out of nowhere Sunday, as it ended up being the first of his Everton career on only his second shot on target. He's been excellent at left-back to close the season and will hope not to miss time. If he can't go Wednesday at Watford, Jonjoe Kenny would likely step in.
