Ernesto Valverde does not count on Yerry Mina

Así fue el primer partido de Yerry Mina con la camiseta del FC Barcelona / | LALIGA

The Colombian is always left out of the coach's schemes at Barcelona

Yerry Mina was left out of the Barcelona squad to face Valencia on Saturday, a constant problem that has happened to him replacing Javier Mascherano in the winter transfer window. Ernesto Valverde's explanation is that Pique and Umtiti are first choice and Thomas Vermaelen has played well when he's needed to.

The coach always mentions that the player is in an adaption process and has no experience in Europe. The numbers underline the little game-time he has had since joining.

Mina has participated in just three games. Seven minutes in the Copa at Mestalla. His only start was against Getafe in la Liga, and he also appeared in the Catalan Super Cup.

In total he has been in the squad for six weeks in the league, two in the Champions and three cup games. He was last on the bench on March 18, against Athletic.
