Everton’s first-team squad and coaching staff have flown out for their five-day training camp in Dubai.
Manager Ronald Koeman, his backroom team and the players were all on board a flight which departed Liverpool John Lennon Airport at just after 8am on Monday.
The squad will touch down in the United Arab Emirates later in the day and then partake in their first training session of the trip on Tuesday morning.
Speaking about the week’s schedule, said Koeman: “We will train every day and play a friendly on Friday. It’s a chance to stay together, have good communication and keep up the momentum of the season.
