Toffees boss Silva revealed he had told Queiroz that Mina was not fit enough to feature in both international games.He said: “We knew it could be a risk for him to play the two matches, it was something in our communication with the national team.“We cannot control it, it’s their decision of course but we tried to advise them.“It was always a risk for him to play two games in a short period. They decided and unfortunately for us and for Yerry he took the injury.”
