Some Everton players reported back for pre-season training yesterday then underwent fitness tests at Liverpool University before flying out this evening for a four-day training camp in Austria. Players involved in end-of-season internationals like Leighton Baines, Phil Jagielka, Johnny Heitinga and Seamus Coleman are not expected back for another week, while Tim Howard, whose involvement in the Gold Cup has only just ended, will not rejoin the squad until the US tour later this month. Joseph Yobo is not expected to return to Finch Farm again. as his transfer to Turkey should be completed soon...
A report in the Express claimed that Yobo was planning to stay away from David Moyes’s pre-season preparations and run the risk of a hefty fine, in order to force Everton to accept the offer on the table from the Turks.
Goodison officials have refuted suggestions, however, that the Nigerian defender is preparing to boycott EFC pre-season training in a bid to push through his move to Turkish side Fenerbahce.
His Nigerian teammate, Yakubu. who's Everton future remains uncertain, is also included in the Austrian trip, according to the Daily Mail.
