Wayne Rooney has been named by Ronald Koeman in a 25-man Everton squad which headed to Tanzania on Tuesday night.
The squad departed Liverpool Airport for Dar es Salaam with new signing Rooney perhaps set to play in his first game back on Thursday in a friendly.
Fellow new arrivals Davy Klaassen and Michael Keane are also part of the travelling squad, along with all five of the Blues’ Under-20 World Cup winners.
Ross Barkley has not travelled owing to a groin injury for which he is receiving treatment, nor have Ramiro Funes Mori, who is recovering from a knee injury sustained last season, and Joel Robles.
