Everton’s U21 squad will head for their pre-season training camp in Austria on Tuesday – and first-team prospect Tyias Browning is set to be part of the travelling party.
Browning is understood to have asked for permission to join up with David Unsworth’s squad, despite the fact that he is expected to play a full part in the senior side’s pre-season preparations.
The 21-year-old made his senior debut for the Blues in the Merseyside derby at Anfield last September, and went on to make three appearances in all competitions. Roberto Martinez is keen to see more of the versatile Liverpool-born defender as he plans his side for next season.
Everton’s first-team squad are due to return to Finch Farm next month, with Martinez having mapped out an intensive 60-session schedule to ensure his side is fully prepared to hit the ground running by the time the new season starts.

They will spend the first week of pre-season, commencing on July 6, at Finch Farm before flying to Singapore, where they will play two games as part of the Barclays Asia Trophy. They will also, later in July, hold a five-day training camp in Scotland, ahead of the start of the Premier League campaign on August 8.
Browning, though, is eager to gain a headstart in terms of fitness, and has volunteered to begin his own pre-season a fortnight early by accompanying the rest of the club’s young guns, including the likes of Ryan Ledson and Jonjoe Kenny, to Austria.

Unsworth’s squad is set to be supplemented by a number of last season’s highly-rated U18s, with Antonee Robinson and Jordan Thorniley among those expected to step up.
Calum Dyson in action
Both have been offered contracts by the club, while young forward Calum Dyson will also be going to Austria with the U21s, and is viewed as one of the more promising youngsters emerging.
