12 Everton players from the senior and youth sides will be representing their respective countries during the March international break, with club football resuming on Monday 5th April with Crystal Palace visiting, giving the returning players an additional couple of days to recuperate. The Toffees have slipped to eighth place, but have a game in hand on all sides above them with West Ham in fifth spot three points ahead.
For the next ten days or so though we can forget about the Premier League and watch our Blues in international action, and like Carlo Ancelotti we’ll be keeping our fingers crossed that everyone returns COVID and injury-free.
Everton’s South American contingent of Richarlison, Allan, James Rodriguez & Yerry Mina did not travel after the governing body CONMEBOL canceled all World Cup qualifiers for this international break due to the complexities of travel during COVID times.
Jordan Pickford is still injured and did not join the England camp while Michael Keane was overlooked by Gareth Southgate this time around. Gylfi Sigurdsson has also not joined the Iceland camp, preferring to rest his ankle ailment. Out on loan Moise Kean has recovered from COVID but has been overlooked by Italy after complaining of fatigue, while Cenk Tosun and Yannick Bolasie will be in the Turkey and DR Congo squads, respectively.
Additionally, four youth players have been called up for training camps for their respective countries: Tom Cannon (Republic of Ireland Under-21s), Sean McAllister and Isaac Price (both Northern Ireland Under-19s), and Thierry Small (England Under-17s).
