Everton have offered an interesting behind-the-scenes glimpse of the recovery process Andros Townsend has been undertaking.
The Blues squad returned to Finch Farm at the start of the week to begin their pre-season preparations. Frank Lampard's side are due to face Arsenal, Minnesota United and Blackpool over the course of the next month - with the club also confirming they want to organise a friendly against Dynamo Kyiv before the 2022/23 campaign gets underway.
While the majority of the squad who weren't involved in international football over the break came back to take part in a number of drills and testing sessions to assess their condition after a few weeks off, things are a little different for Townsend. The winger took part in his own sessions away from the rest of the group as he continues his recovery from injury.
