Everton using Zoom and Skype to assess injured players

Everton are using video conferencing tool Zoom and Skype to give players information about training.

The Merseyside club are allowing the players to self isolate, which means a lot of solo training.

The club are using Zoom and Skype to assess how players are doing, especially those who are injured.

Among those include Morgan Schneiderlin, who is seeing a knee surgeon via video conference about the state of his knee.

Speaking to the Guardian, Everton's director of medical services, Danny Donachie, said: "The two most challenging situations are with Morgan and Cenk [Tosun].

"They are not able to do any weight-bearing exercise. Most of what we'd have done with them would be hands-on, and that's not possible.

"We are doing regular Skype sessions with them but what we can do practically is very limited. Morgan is due to see the surgeon on Monday next week and we will do that via Zoom.

"From then he can probably do more exercise, so I will be doing one-to-one videos with him every day."
