The death of the grandmother of Yerry Mina, central defender of Everton and the Colombian National Team, was confirmed tonight by the newspaper El Tiempo.
Doña Carlina González was 80 years old and had long suffered from cancer, as the newspaper learned.
Several weeks ago, Jair Mina, Yerry’s uncle, had posted a tweet in which he asked for strength for his mother. “Strength and more strength. God always complies “, wrote at the beginning of November the relative of the central defender.
Mina is in England as this Saturday Everton faces Leeds United for the tenth round of the Premier League. The Colombian is surely in the plans of coach Ancelotti as a starter for this meeting, but the sad news that Yerry is experiencing at this time may make him change his plans.
According to the newspaper, Mina and her grandmother were very close when the soccer player was just training to reach professionalism since he helped her to tend a stall he had in the market place.
This was the post that the player’s uncle had made three weeks ago:
