That raised concern at Everton, where David Moyes is looking to get all his players back and fit following the conclusion of the international break.

However, the Toffees can breathe a sigh of relief as Mykolenko is back and training with the Ukraine national team, according to TaToTake (via Football24).

The left-back ‘has recovered’ from injury his muscle discomfort and was able to take part in the Wednesday evening training session without any restrictions at all.

As such, he is ready to play in Ukraine’s Nations League meeting with Northern Ireland on Friday.

In June, Mykolenko signed a contract extension which will keep him at Everton until 2029, which shows Moyes’ trust in the player.

This term, the 27-year-old has made seven appearances across the Premier League and the EFL Cup, and has not missed a single minute.

Ukraine are currently at the top of Group F, and after their match against Northern Ireland, will conclude the international break with a clash against Hungary again.

It remains to be seen if he will start against Northern Ireland.

Mykolenko remains a key player for Ukraine manager Andrea Maldera and he has made over 50 appearances for the national team.

Moyes will want Mykolenko to return to the Hill Dickinson Stadium injury-free, as he is also an important player for Everton.

Everton are due to lock horns with newly promoted side Hull City at the MKM Stadium on 11th October, after the conclusion of the international break.
