If not for periodic health issues, the first part of Vitaliy Mykolenko's club season-2024/2025 in terms of playing practice at the highest level for Ukraine's national team and English Everton could be considered successful.

Yes, at the start of the English Premier League, "The Toffees" generally looked, to put it mildly, not very good (four consecutive opening losses), but the Ukrainian player had no more blame in this misery than any other member of Sean Dyche's team.

Out of 21 matches played by Everton, Mykolenko participated in 17, and in 16 of them he started and finished the game until the final whistle. A vivid illustration of the trust shown to Vitaliy by Liverpool's coaching staff, which, if nothing unexpected happens, is likely to continue into the second half of the season.
