Everton's International Blues: All The Details as 14 Players Called Up
Everton have 14 players heading out on international duty, with nine of those being senior players.
With the Toffees having such a small squad to begin with, Everton have a small number of players heading out on international duty over the next two weeks.
David Moyes' side has a large number of English players, too, and breaking into that squad, as we've seen with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, certainly isn't easy.
Everton have three players involved with England, but that isn't a common theme for the Toffees. Outside of England, Wales, the Republic of Ireland, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, Everton only have a couple of players representing their countries over the coming weeks.
Even Tyler Dibling, who is usually a regular for the England U21s, hasn't been called up, so there are still plenty of players remaining at Finch Farm for the coming weeks.
