Midfielder omitted as Everton submit 24-man Premier League squad

Following the conclusion of the summer transfer window, teams have completed submissions of their 25-man squads for the remainder of the 2020-21 Premier League season.

Everton’s squad list is mostly as expected with five new summer signings — Asmir Begovic, Demarai Gray, Andy Lonergan, Salomon Rondon and Andros Townsend — added to the roster, but the Blues have omitted a key player from previous seasons and only have 24 players on their list.

While the club haven’t named him overtly, Gylfi Sigurdsson remains suspended by the club while a criminal investigation continues around some off-the-field activity that the player has been linked with, and his name is not on the squad list which means even if he were to be cleared of all accusations, he would not be eligible to play for the Blues at least until the conclusion of the January transfer window.

13 of the squad are considered home-grown players, while youngsters Anthony Gordon and Jarrad Branthwaite have not been named in this list as they are Under 21 and as such any on that supplementary list can play a senior game without special dispensation.
