Mirallas missed a penalty just before half and was subbed off for Brian Oviedo to begin the second half of Everton's scoreless draw Monday.

Mirallas had a dreadful miss that wasn't even on goal and it appears he's being punished for his indiscretion of not letting Leighton Baines take the penalty. Baines has a 14/15 penalty rate and takes penalties regularly, so it was a surprise to see the Belgian take the responsibility. Mirallas will be back in the starting XI in two weeks time when Everton take on Crystal Palace.

Mirallas was used as a substitute in the 77th minute of the 1-1 draw to Manchester City Saturday.

It was very surprising not to see Mirallas in the starting XI Saturday or receive many minutes, but maybe the manager just wanted to mix things up with the recent struggles Everton have been facing. He should return to the starting XI next Monday against West Brom.

Mirallas was subbed off at half for Romelu Lukaku and only had one shot in the 2-0 loss to Hull City Thursday.

Mirallas hardly did anything in this match totaling only 14 touches in his limited time. The substitute was likely just to get Mirallas some rest after his injury history and condensed schedule. Mirallas will be back in the starting XI next weekend vs Man City barring any unknown injury news.

Mirallas (ankle) was used as a substitute for Aiden McGeady and was able to score in the 3-2 loss to Newcastle Sunday.

Mirallas picked up a minor ankle knock Friday, so it was nice to see him get some playing time after the quick turn around. Mirallas had a nice chip finish and has proven his ability to score with five goals on the season. Mirallas will likely be in the starting XI come next Thursday when Everton take on Hull City.

Mirallas picked up a knock to his ankle during Friday's match against Stoke City, manager Roberto Martinez confirmed after the match.

Mirallas has dealt with ankle injuries for much of the season, and another knock could put him in jeopardy of missing Sunday's match against Newcastle.

Mirallas (ankle) could return for Friday's Premier League match against Stoke City, the Liverpool Echo reports.

Mirallas was held out of last weekend's 3-0 loss to Southampton, and his return will surely be a boost to the Toffees' attack. How he trains in the coming days will surely help his chances of playing Stoke.

Mirallas is unlikely to play Saturday against Southampton due to an ankle injury picked up Monday against QPR, the club's official website reports.

Mirallas scored on a heavily-deflected free kick against QPR and has been playing very well of late, but he seems headed to miss out against a Southampton side that is in free-fall right now.
