Everton’s international players will now be heading back to Merseyside for their upcoming game against Aston Villa this weekend.
Idrissa Gana Gueye and Iliman Ndiaye have now wrapped up their efforts for Senegal following their latest win against the DR Congo.
Both players are returning to Everton without any fresh injury concerns, which will be music to the ears of their manager.
David Moyes has already seen Vitaliy Mykolenko return with an injury issue from the opening games of the new season.
Jordan Pickford was hailed after England’s win over Serbia despite having very little to do in between the sticks.
Following their victory on Tuesday, the pair were rated by their national media outlet, both receiving very different write-ups.

Over the weekend, Ndiaye was praised for his display for Senegal as they beat Sudan in their World Cup Qualifier.
And they made it two wins from a possible two as they claimed the points on Tuesday against the DR Congo.
MORE EVERTON STORIES
However, DSports shared a contrasting response to Ndiaye and Gueye’s displays.
‘In a sentinel position in front of the defense, he struggled to set the pace and impose his rhythm,’ they said about Gueye.
‘Even though he raised his game a little more in the second half, his return to the starting XI was not really convincing.’
The same was not said about Ndiaye, with the media outlet raving about the Everton winger for his attacking threat.
‘Striking and creative, he showed off his technique and audacity. He put on a real performance in Pape Gueye’s goal,’ they said about Ndiaye.
‘All he needs to do is work on his shot off the dribble at the edge of the box to become a constant threat to his opponents.’
Senegal fans were delighted with Ndiaye at the weekend following the game against Sudan.
It looks as if the forward will be returning to Everton in top form ahead of the game at the Hill Dickinson Stadium against Villa.
Ndiaye is establishing himself as a real talent
When Ndiaye landed back in England, the forward signed on the back of a difficult spell in France with Marseille.
He has taken no time to establish himself as one of the best forwards around.
Tyler Dibling cannot wait to play alongside Ndiaye at Everton, having named the Senegal international and Jack Grealish as two quality players.
The Toffees have put together a really exciting front line during this summer’s transfer window.
However, Everton are already receiving interest in Ndiaye from some of Europe’s top clubs.
If he continues to put in performances like he is, that interest will surely only grow ahead of next summer.
