Everton boss Ronald Koeman may send Jonjoe Kenny away on-loan this season.
Kenny was a surprise omission from the squad for last week's Europa League tie against Ruzomberok and has not travelled with the squad to Slovakia for tonight's second leg.
Asked if Kenny would join Kieran Dowell and Joe Williams in being sent sent on loan this season, he said: “We know that we have several options for his position with Mason Holgate, with Cuco Martina and Kenny – and, finally, the best will play.
“Of course, we are looking at the development of young players and what we did with Dowell was the best way to develop the player.
“And at the end of this pre-season we will take a decision: if Jonjoe is not really close to a position in the first-team then maybe we will think about what the best is to develop the player.
“They did a great season last season in the under-23s and they need to make the next step. It is really difficult for young players to get a place in the team."
