Everton return to Finch Farm tomorrow to begin their pre-season schedule.

And it is expected that the bulk of Ronald Koeman’s squad will be back at the club’s Halewood training complex.

Fitness coach Jan Kluitenberg and the sport science team are set to perform a series of tests to gauge the players’ fitness levels in the morning before training with Koeman fully gets underway later in the day.

Koeman has just over a week with the players before they jet to Tanzania for their first friendly of the summer when they face Gor Mahia FC on July 13.

It is anticipated that the group of players granted late returns to pre-season training due to international commitments will join up with the Blues squad next week and then ahead of the training camp in Holland in mid-July.

Everton’s under-20s World Cup winning contingent - Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Ademola Lookman, Jonjoe Kenny, Kieran Dowell and Callum Connolly - will be among the later arrivals.

Romelu Lukaku, Kevin Mirallas, Ashley Williams, Idrissa Gueye and new signing Davy Klaassen were all involved in World Cup qualifiers and friendly games last month so may return later in the month.

New goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and defender Mason Holgate, who played for England at the u-21s European Championships, are not yet due back at Finch Farm.
