England manager Gareth Southgate made a personal check on Everton duo Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Southgate\u2019s side don\u2019t play until March when they face Brazil and Belgium in friendlies at Wembley, their final two games before the head coach picks his squad for Euro 2024.<\/p>\n
And the England boss was paying particular attention to Toffees pair Branthwaite and Calvert-Lewin on his trip to Merseyside at the weekend.<\/p>\n
Branthwaite, 21, has impressed under Sean Dyche this season and was under consideration for the previous squad last month.<\/p>\n
The fact he can play on the left-side of two centre-backs will boost the Everton defender\u2019s cause, though Harry Maguire, Marc Guehi and Levi Colwill are also capable of playing alongside John Stones, who is usually deployed on the right.<\/p>\n

Calvert-Lewin\u2019s return to fitness has also come as boost to Southgate, who is devoid of a traditional centre-forward in his squad behind Harry Kane.<\/p>\n
The Toffees striker became a fixture in Southgate\u2019s squad, but injuries have prevented his progress at international level.<\/p>\n
Southgate is an admirer of a fully fit Calvert-Lewin, but with Ivan Toney\u2019s betting suspension ending next month the Brentford striker will also come into contention for a recall.<\/p>\n

The Toffees’ victory against Chelsea helped them go four points clear of Luton at the top of the relegation places\u00a0<\/p>\n
