News about Vitaliy Mykolenko

LEWIS STEELE: Everton full back Vitaliy Mykolenko's hopes of playing in this summer's European Championships are hanging in the balance after the Ukrainian suffered a nasty ankle injury in last week's Merseyside Derby. The 24-year-old, who has been one of the most improved players under Sean Dyche and played a pivotal role in the Toffees' survival bid, went off at half time in the 2-0 win over Liverpool having originally powered on after an awkward fall. He missed the win against Brentford on Saturday which confirmed survival and is unlikely to play again for the club this season. 'It's not great early signs,' said Dyche after the Liverpool match.

The latest international break may be over, but the narratives and discussions surrounding various national teams are only likely to rise in the run-up to Euro 2024.

Among the bookies' favorites to win the tournament are France, England, Germany, and Portugal, which will begin in Munich on June 14th.

Cauley Woodrow said he felt his hand'crack' after a collision with James Tarkowski just seconds before determining the FA Cup fourth round winner for Luton. Rob Edwards' side earned a spot in the next round and the Hatter's second victory at Goodison Park this season, with the former Fulham striker coming off the bench for his 96th-minute winner. Vitaliy Mykolenko had already scored an own goal before Jack Harrison equalized in the second half. The winner of Woodrow's festival sparked wild celebrations, which may have helped ease the agony of a suspected broken hand.

JOE BERNSTEIN OF GOODISON PARK: Everton's search for a trophy will continue into a 30th year following Cauley Woodrow's injury-time winner for Luton. The natives weren't joking about this. They switched on their own team at the final whistle after booed their former player Ross Barkley and referee Simon Hooper through a tumultuous afternoon at Goodison. When Tim Krul's blunder gave Sean Dyche's men an equalizer, they buffed and puffed, and even received a stroke of luck.

Everton has been left reeling after being forced to second place in the Premier League after being hit by a 10-point deduction that has forced them to second place. During the 2021-22 season, an independent commission found that the Toffees broke the league's profit and sustainability laws. Everton reported staggering financial losses over a three-year period, more than £250 million more than the Premier League's guidelines allow for the club to lose. The Premier League's profit and sustainability estimates for the time in question were contested by the Premier League and revealed a £124.5 million loss, much more than the £105 million threshold. The Premier League released a 41-page paper on Friday detailing their reasons for releasing the 10-point deduction. Here's a look at a few things we learned from it.

In the 2021-2022 season, Everton projected a sixth-place finish before finishing 16th, leaving them out on a £21 million income. Everton's 10-point deduction is continuing after the Toffees were found guilty of breaching the Premier League's financial laws back in the same campaign - suffering three years with staggering losses of nearly £372 million per year. That figure was more than £250 million over what the Premier League's guidelines allow clubs to lose over the three-year cycle, and now the source of their struggles from the season's defeat has been unearthed.

STEELE AT SELHURST PARK: Idrissa Gana Gueye scored a late goal to win Everton a crucial away victory in a thrilling match in which the Toffees took the lead three times. Everton's first five minutes set the tone for proceedings, with Everton eventually emerging at the top at Selhurst Park. As the Ukrainians discovered the back of the net after just one minute of play, Vitaliy Mykolenko's goal got Sean Dyche's side off to a smuggling start on their trip to the capital.

LEWIS STEELE AT GOODISON PARK: If Everton's players were wearing plain clothing and their faces not shown, you may also pick this team out as a Sean Dyche team. Everton fought for their lives and took their chances at the other end, with just 20% possession and 645 fewer passes than Brighton. After a pass, Roberto De Zerbi's crew puffed and puffed with a pass, but they were unable to break through Everton's defence's royal blue wall until late in the second half, when Kaoru Mitoma's cross was a cruel deflection of veteran Ashley Young and diverted in an equalizer.

This week, Everton is expected to make 38-year-old Ashley Young their first signing of the summer on a one-year contract. Aston Villa and Manchester United utility player's talks are at an advanced stage, and a medical examination is set for this week. On Monday, Everton travelled to Switzerland for pre-season training, with defenders Mason Holgate and Vitaliy Mykolenko unable to recover due to injury treatment.

Everton has been referred to an independent commission for a suspected violation of the Premier League's revenue and sustainability policies. The suspected violation occurred during the 2021-22 season, when the Toffees escaped relegation by four points. Burnley, who were relegated from England's top division last season, and Leeds, who were promoted to the league in May, led to concerns that Everton's reported three-year losses of £371.8 million breached financial laws.

XCLUSIVE: He is not the first manager to have been swallowed up in the Farhad Moshiri period, but his resentment, which has been evident, has lasted for 13 months. Despite the fact that Benitez, who will be 63 in April, will have utter confidence in his new leadership, the ramifications of his dismissal are also felt. Throughout our discussion, he regularly uses the phrase 'right decision' - so was it really the right decision to accept Moshiri's offer, when there was opposition to the move within the club and resentment from the fans? 'I will say yes because you analyze in the context,' Benitez responds. I was not hoping they would not invest, and they would not encourage me in the way they did.' Any manager will tell you that they were spending so much money.' Time is not something Moshiri has given to any of his executives, but it was not with the speed with which Benitez was jettisoned rankles. Many will say that the situation has been unhealthy and that results have been disappointing, but Benitez is adamant that things have changed.

JAMES ST-DENIS: West Ham defeated Everton 2-0 to move beyond the relegation zone and into 16th place. Everton is stuck in 19th after losing their second straight defeat to a direct relegation competitor, Vitaliy Mykolenko and James Tarkowski, who was especially poor on a wild afternoon for Frank Lampard. Jarrod Bowen's two goals in the first half stole the show, while Declan Rice kept his team thumping in the middle of the park as the Hammers gained a critical three points on Saturday afternoon.

Following a spectacular 2022, Manchester city star Erling Haaland enjoyed a quiet New Year's celebration at The Ivy. As he and his family were set to dine in a private dining room, the striker, who was all black, was seen struggling to enter via the back door. City held to a 1-1 draw earlier today, Haaland was on the scoresheet at home to Everton.

In a tumultuous 1-1 draw against Everton, Pep Guardiola confessed he had to warn Erling Haaland not to be sent off. Vitaliy Mykolenko was booked for a lunge midway through the first half after being spotted by Ben Godfrey and then leaving James Tarkowski with a flailing arm as he shielded the ball. Guardiola would not specifically criticize referee Andy Madley, but it did seem that the city had come to understand that their players were not covered.

Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard are two great former footballers who played together 20 times as Premier League midfielders. But, they're two young coaches wrestling with their own team's tactics and finding winning formulas as they meet for the first time as coaches. Their careers are twining, with one debate focusing on who had the greater midfielder now being discussed in ten years about who has the best boss in ten years. Aston Villa and Everton are two of the most popular clubs with burgeoning fanbases. I know that having worked for both of them, and that the apprehensions for Gerrard and Lampard will not be straightforward. Both players are now under pressure to bounce back from defeats on the first day - Villa defeated Bournemouth and Everton 1-0 at home to Chelsea, while Everton defeated Chelsea 2-0.
