Everton can confirm Women’s manager Jean-Luc Vasseur will not be in attendance at Walton Hall Park for today’s Continental Cup match against Durham.

Vasseur is currently self-isolating after being notified by the Government’s track-and-trace system. The Frenchman has tested negative for COVID-19 and is fully vaccinated but, due to receiving his vaccine outside of the United Kingdom, he is subject to mandatory quarantine.

In his absence, Assistant Manager Frédéric Piquionne and coach Claire Ditchburn will take charge of the Everton team for today’s match against Durham.

Vasseur will return to the dugout for the visit of West Ham United next Sunday 12 December.
