Sage’s side concluded their pre-season campaign with a 2-0 defeat to Freiburg in South-West Germany, with an additional 30-minute training game following the 90 minutes.

With players returning at different stages following the World Cup, alongside a number of injuries, Sage highlighted the importance of having more time together as the squad continues to settle.

“For the moment, I think we are not ready to play because we need more sessions,” he said. “With the starting XI, we have only two or three players who have been here with us from the beginning without injury.

A midfield jumble of Rohl, Armstrong, KDH, Ndiaye and Alcaraz.

With Barry playing for 60mins before Beto comes on.

Moyes doesn’t like giving new players their starting debuts when they first sign for Everton so Johnson and Hackney will have to wait to be subbed on, probably one of them to replace Alcaraz at half time and George will probably come on in the 85th minute.
