Blues In Scotland

Players are training in Scotland on the first day of the pre-season tour.

Everton's players have arrived in Scotland for the first tour of the 2009/10 pre-season campaign.
 
Ten first-team players have made the trip north, including Club captain Phil Neville, defenders Tony Hibbert and Leighton Baines and midfield duo Leon Osman and Marouane Fellaini.

Louis Saha, Dan Gosling and James Vaughan have also joined the party, but international stars Joleon Lescott, Tim Cahill, Steven Pienaar, Tim Howard and Jack Rodwell have been given extended breaks.

Long-term injury absentees Yakubu, Victor Anichebe, Phil Jagielka and Mikel Arteta have remained in Liverpool to focus on their rehabilitation.

Everton new boy Shkodran Mustafi has made the trip though as he aims to get used to life with the Toffees following his move from German outfit Hamburg.
