Lewis Warrington, Stanley Mills and Reece Welch were given another opportunity to impress on Friday evening as Everton welcomed Dynamo Kyiv to Goodison Park.
It wasn't necessarily a significant amount of time that the youngsters were given, certainly not compared to their appearances against Arsenal earlier in the summer particularly. That clash with the Gunners struck as the real opportunity to impress, while this latest appearance might have been more of a reward from Frank Lampard and a reminder that they are all still in his mind.
All three could be faced with an interesting season ahead. Will they stay and earn first-team chances at Goodison or will they move out on loan, either in this window or in January?
