    On the importance of keeping fringe and academy players, Everton boss Sean Dyche said: "That is the obvious knock-on effect of a small squad. They have been on the bench and around it so far.

    "It is good for their development because they are getting a feel, but in an ideal world they would be playing first-team football because they are ready for that. They are staying for now and then we will see what tomorrow brings."

    Let's start with Everton boss Sean Dyche, who has given a fitness update on his team ahead of Saturday's game against Bournemouth: "We had to monitor Seamus Coleman's and James Garner's minutes [against Doncaster in the Carabao Cup], so I was really pleased with their performances.

    "James Tarkowski was taken off more as a precaution on Tuesday and it was a minor situation. He has trained today so should be fine, as long as there’s no further reaction.

    "Jarrod [Branthwaite] is still a bit of time away. We have three very strong players missing still and a few nearing to fitness but not quite there yet."

    More from Lee Carsley on the inclusion of Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White and Lille's Angel Gomes in his England squad: "Morgan is a very attacking player, full of energy and very exciting. He has an excellent work rate and is very difficult to play against. He's been successful with England Under-21s. A lot of these players that we brought in are used to winning and going to the latter stages of tournaments.

    "Angel is probably different to a lot of what we would have seen in the past, in terms of a centre-midfielder being a lot more physical and robust. He's a lot more of a technical player - he controls the game with his technique."

  8. 'The priority is to get out of Nations League B'published at 14:28 British Summer Time 29 August

    England

    Interim boss Lee Carsley on if he is looking to stay in the role long term: "For me, it's not really that important. Again, the mistakes I made in the past when in these positions was that I tell people too many times whether or not I want to do the job, but then forget to actually do it.

    "The priority is to get out of Nations League B and not to worry too much about the future."

  9. 'They were great phone calls to make'published at 14:26 British Summer Time 29 August

    "The [four] players that have been called up for their first caps are really exciting players. They were great phone calls to make - I was very proud to congratulate them and they fully deserve the chances they're going to get."
