Several Everton stars will be away from Finch Farm for the international break as they join up with their countrymen.
David Moyes will be frustrated with the timing of the break, with Everton’s 2-1 win over Crystal Palace seeing the Toffees finally gain some momentum back.
Jack Grealish was lauded for his late winner against Crystal Palace but the winger will be staying put for the break, after he was snubbed by Thomas Tuchel.
Here, Goodison News tells you all that you need to know about the Toffees on international duty.

Jordan Pickford, Iliman Ndiaye among those called up
Jordan Pickford equalled Gordon Banks’ record for successive England clean sheets during the last international break, and the goalkeeper can now break it.
