Everton defender Yerry Mina: I've cut out the hangers on

Everton defender Yerry Mina admits he learned a lot about those around him when he struggled at Barcelona.

Mina was brought to Europe by Barca, but lasted barely six months in Spain before moving to Everton.

He told AS: "When the coach trusts you, it is fundamental. You can do things.

"These are difficult times that you are going through. It helped me see who was with me. A lot of people have left.

"I embrace my family and those who have always been with me."
