Dr Rajpal Brar suggests that Everton defender Vitaliy Mykolenko might have made his ankle injury worse by continuing to play against Liverpool. The video that surfaced from the Merseyside derby, which clearly showed a clear damage to his ankle, was evaluated by the injury expert.
Sean Dyche declared that he would not be making a comeback this season and that the damage was to his ligaments.
“With ankle inversion sprains, the video often doesn’t tell the story.
Therefore, you have to rely on your testing and how the player is feeling.
Additionally, it was also a key game so that does come into the equation but he could’ve aggravated it further.
However, it looked pretty nasty on initial viewing so I’m not surprised he was out for a number of weeks subsequently.“ Says Brar, a physical therapist.
For Everton, Vitaliy Mykolenko has had a standout season. One of the Toffees’ greatest players this year, Mykolenko played a key role in keeping the team from being relegated. In the midst of all the mayhem occurring behind the scenes, Dyche needed to know he could always count on a select set of players.
Ashley Young will have an opportunity to establish himself at left-back during Mykolenko’s absence, but the Ukrainian is anticipated to start as the starting lineup once more come season’s commencement.
