The Story in 60 Seconds

Everton defender Vitaliy Mykolenko has publicly backed his Ukrainian compatriot Mykhailo Mudryk to recover from an ankle injury and succeed at Tottenham Hotspur. Mudryk joined Tottenham on loan from Chelsea late in the transfer window to reunite with manager Roberto De Zerbi, but he has already missed three matches with an ankle issue that is expected to keep him sidelined until November.
