Everton could have six players involved across four international fixtures today, with interest stretching from England’s senior Nations League campaign to three youth internationals.
Jordan Pickford, Jarrad Branthwaite and James Garner are all with Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for tonight’s trip to Czechia, while Harrison Armstrong, Kai Hutchison and Luis Gardner could feature earlier in the day.
Here is where Everton supporters should be looking.
Everton players in international action today
| Player | Country | Opponent | Kick-off (UK) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harrison Armstrong | England U20 | France U20 | 10.30am |
| Kai Hutchison | Scotland U17 | Belgium U17 | 11am |
| Luis Gardner | Wales U19 | USA U19 | 11am |
| Jordan Pickford | England | Czechia | 7.45pm |
| Jarrad Branthwaite | England | Czechia | 7.45pm |
| James Garner | England | Czechia | 7.45pm |
Armstrong back in action for England U20s
Armstrong is first up as England Under-20s continue their U20 Elite League programme against France in Spain. The Everton midfielder started Friday’s 3-1 victory over Italy and completed the full game at the Estadi Olympic Camilo Cano.
England’s official match report lists Armstrong among the starters and only one substitution, with Shea Lacey replacing Jesse Derry in the 71st minute. Armstrong therefore has 90 minutes under his belt going into today’s second game of the tournament. England finish their programme against Germany on Saturday.
Hutchison and Gardner could feature
There could be two more Everton academy players in action shortly after Armstrong’s game begins. Hutchison is part of Scotland’s Under-17 squad for their final friendly of the window against Belgium at the Pinatar Arena.
The 16-year-old has already made his mark during the break, scoring in Scotland’s 5-0 victory over Real Murcia in their opening game. Gardner is with Wales Under-19s for a three-game friendly tournament in Marbella.
Wales begin against the United States at 11am today before facing Norway on Friday and Northern Ireland next Monday. That gives Everton three possible youth involvements before attention switches to the senior England side this evening.
Pickford, Branthwaite and Garner with England
The main Everton interest comes when England face Czechia in Prague tonight. Pickford is still waiting for his first appearance of the international break after James Trafford started Saturday’s 3-2 defeat against Spain, and Tuchel has said Trafford will start again tonight..
Branthwaite and Garner both came off the bench at Wembley. Garner was introduced in the 70th minute, while Branthwaite replaced Manchester City’s Marc Guehi in the 89th. All three remain part of Tuchel’s squad for tonight’s second Nations League fixture.
Whether the England head coach rotates his side remains to be seen. Pickford will have to wait for his first start of the window, while Branthwaite and Garner have another opportunity to add to the minutes they received against Spain.
