The four Everton players Marco Silva has frozen out
Everton boss Marco Silva has wielded the axe and told four senior players to train away from the first-team squad
Silva is beginning to make his mark on The Toffees ahead of the new season, with Lucas Digne and Richardson joining the club and more new faces expected.
With just one pre-season game left and their season-opener with Wolves only nine days away, Silva has made up his mind on four players who were already at the club too.

According to The Times, Ashley Williams, Kevin Mirallas, Cuco Martina and Nikola Vlasic have all been asked to train alone.
Despite being demoted by Silva, Williams is expected to complete a season-long loan move to recently relegated Stoke City before the weekend.
Mirallas, meanwhile, has been at Everton for a number of years now, but spent the second half of the season out on loan and is expected to leave prior to the window shutting next week.
Martina was a regular at left-back last year, due to Leighton Baines’ injury problems, however Digne’s arrival and Baines’ return to fitness means chances are expected to be limited for him this time around. He didn’t impress under Sam Allardyce either.
And Nikola Vlašić, who joined from Hajduk Split last summer, is the final member of the quarter to be frozen out after an uninspiring first year at Goodison Park.
