Everton youngsters handed rare Moyes opportunity during international break

Everton manager David Moyes has called up several academy players to train with the first team during the international break. With 10 senior players away on international duty and just nine first-team regulars available at Finch Farm, multiple youth prospects joined senior sessions. Training footage identified youngsters including 15-year-old Francis Boggan and 16-year-old Jonathan Nsangou alongside senior figures such as Christian Nørgaard.

The academy contingent also featured in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Blackburn Rovers that ended in a 3-3 draw at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Nsangou scored a late equalizing goal assisted by Jack Grealish on his first senior appearance, while Charly Alcaraz and Thierno Barry netted Everton's other goals.
