26-Year-Old

Injury Undisclosed
Est. Return 9/13/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mykolenko started 35 matches last season, contributing one goal, two assists and 10 clean sheets in the Premier League. He was fairly involved in the attack as a left-back, recording 101 crosses and creating 24 chances. He heads into the 2025/26 season as Everton's first-choice left-back, and all signs point to him having another productive campaign. He rarely receives yellow cards, keeps a fair amount of clean sheets and contributes a goal or assist every once in a while, so as long as he stays healthy, the consistency is there.
Could be available Saturday
Mykolenko (undisclosed) could be available for Saturday's clash against Aston Villa, coach David Moyes said in the press conference. "Myko's around it. We need to see if he's going to make it or not. Hopefully, he might be okay. He felt something in the game against Wolves. He felt he was fine to go with Ukraine and go with them. But once he got there, he felt it maybe wasn't quite right, so came away from it."
ANALYSIS
Mykolenko returned from injury in a Carabao Cup game before completing 90 minutes against Wolves right before the international break and joined the Ukraine squad happy and fit. That said, he felt during the camp that he wasn't quite right with the issue and decided to leave to head back to the Toffees. That said, the problem appears to be minor and if he is near full fitness Mykolenko will likely start in the backline against the Villains on Saturday. If he can't make it James Garner will likely switch to left back instead of his natural midfield role.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might leave Everton
Everton have yet to decide whether they're going to re-sign Mykolenko in the summer of 2026, according to The Times.
ANALYSIS
Tarkowski is one of three players whose futures are uncertain with the club, with James Garner and James Tarkowski being the others. Mykolenko is a reliable starter on the left side of the defense, but he's been injury prone in recent years. It wouldn't be surprising if he leaves the club in the summer and Everton consider other options, including playing Garner at left-back on a full-time basis.
