Everton defender Mykolenko admits injury concern while with Ukraine

Everton defender Vitalii Mykolenko has complained about an injury while with Ukraine.

The 23-year-old was an unused substitute in the 3-0 loss at Hampden Park and he's revealed he felt a 'discomfort' during Everton 's win over West Ham before the international break. Any potential injury for Mykolenko will come as a huge blow for Frank Lampard as Nathan Patterson was also forced off for Scotland last night through injury.

"Probably, I won't be able to help the guys tomorrow, because even now I'm not taking part in training and I'm not preparing for the match (against Scotland)," he told Ukraine's official media ahead of the game.

"I felt discomfort during the last match of the English championship, and today the doctors conducted an examination and said that everything is more or less fine, but we have to wait a little. If the coaches take me, I will prepare for the next meetings."
