Yerry Mina Unconcerned By Racist Song From Everton Fans, Says Manager Marco Silva

Everton defender Yerry Mina will not be affected by a controversial song created by the club’s supporters, says manager Marco Silva.

Everton are working with anti-discrimination organisation Kick It Out to investigate a social media video.

In the video, Everton supporters are depicted singing a song that refers to Colombia international Mina being a drug user.

Marco Silva, though, says Yerry Mina is unconcerned about the song as they prepare to host Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday.

“We as a club, and in sport and life as well, it’s something we have to put out of our lives,” Silva told a news conference. “Football is a party for everyone to enjoy and be part of. Our fans love our players, they love Mina as well.”

“I didn’t speak with him about the situation. It doesn’t change anything in Yerry, he is a happy boy. He loves to be in our club. He loves to help us every day.”
