An Everton side featuring eight first-team players were beaten by National League North outfit Chester in a behind-closed-doors friendly on Tuesday afternoon.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin were amongst those to feature as the forward made his long-awaited return to action. He played 70 minutes against the non-league side as he stepped up his recovery from a hamstring injury.
Meanwhile, Yerry Mina, Conor Coady, Nathan Patterson, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Tom Davies, Ellis Simms and Mason Holgate were also involved for the Toffees, according to Liverpool Echo. Despite the wealth of the Premier League and even European experience in the Everton line-up, they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Chester at Finch Farm.
