 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the Everton News Daily. Rafa Benitez has given his pre-match press conference ahead of Everton's trip to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday to face Manchester City. The Everton manager confirmed that Jerry Mene would not be in the Everton squad for the weekend. He is training but he still hasn't fully happy with his hamstring injury so he is unavailable this weekend. Andre Gomez, also unavailable, he hasn't recovered from the calf injury that has kept him out for the last few weeks. He is training again but this game has come too early for him. The manager gave us an update on Adelaide D'Core, said that he was looking at one to two weeks before D'Core is back. It's obviously a metatarsal injury. It's a bone so you go one day by day really. But he didn't rule about it, the Bremford game next week. That's what I took from it anyway, one to two weeks. So I'm hoping he will be available for Bremford next Sunday. But he isn't available this Sunday and that's the problem with a bone injury. Literally I've just got to let it settle down. You've got to give it enough time to knit together and then let it settle down. But hopefully Adelaide D'Core may be available next week for the trip to Bremford. He spoke about Dominic Calvert-Lubans, said the evidence striker is two to three weeks away. He is recovering from a quadriceps injury. But we need these players back as soon as possible. Tom Davies misses out as well. He's got a knee injury. Apparently no timescale on when he will return. So the squad is looking very light. Of course Mason Holgate begins the first game of his three match bands. So he's unavailable as well. Some people might be bothered by that in the slightest. But there you go with his bodies. Everton, do you need these players fitting available? We need that squad fit. So give the manager options and it pushes the level of our team up. Because the squad is thin. When we lose face team players, like our best 11, there is a drop off. So we need everybody fully fit and available for Sunday. For Manchester City and a little bit of good news for Everton, there's not going to be Kevin De Bruyne. He has tested positive for Covid. So he's ruled out the game. He's not thinking about what they're missing. He's more worried about De Bruyne himself as a person. So he's ruled out of that one. Jack Reelish is also ruled out of the game. And Phil Foden is right that he's very doubtful. So Man City might be a little bit weaker. So who knows, listen, who knows. These kind of games, you look at it and go, we haven't got much of a chance. But it's a game of football. And if you can stay in the game, anything can happen. Everton were 18-1 to get a result at the Etihad before this team news. Come on, they haven't checked since. But that's long odds. So no one really gives us a chance. Maybe Sunday is the day that we upset the apple cart and get a result. No one quite expected. Who knows. Everton have announced that a couple of milestones are being reached at Bramleymore Dock Stadium development. The first one is the infill of the dock is now three quarters completed. Three hundred and fifteen thousand cubic metres of fluidised sand has been pumped into the dock. That is now at water level. The water is dispersed in and you can see the sand from above. So making great progress there that that has been filled in this four hundred and eighty thousand tonnes will be in there by the end of four hundred and eighty thousand cubic metres rather will be in there by the end of the development. So that's going really well and it is really visible. So that's great. And the second one is the first foundations were poured yesterday into the northern section of the site. It's important because it's the first work that's been done above ground and things are going really well with the stadiums developing nicely. Things are moving along nicely. So that's brilliant. Everton also confirming that work is continuing on the hydraulic tower as well. So lots of progress being made at Bramleymore Dock. It will be more exciting when we see the steels coming out the ground and the first stand going up. It will be real in 2024 isn't that long away. The camp down is on of course at Godderson. So for all the excitement around Bramleymore, there is that thing of we're closer to leaving Godderson Park but great news on the stadium as well. And finally Everton, unless they have been linked today with a move for Barcelona B defender Arnau Comas. He has been in fantastic form for the B side. He's only made one senior appearance. That was in the Copa del Rey against Reil Valicano. He is 21 years of age. He is a centre back and he is out of contract in the summer Barcelona. Look into trying to keep him but lots of stories coming out of Spain that Everton unless they are very interested in him and they may make a move. So that's one to look out for Arnau Comas. So remember that one. That is it for us. Give the video a thumbs up. Subscribe if you haven't otherwise have a fantastic weekend. See you later.
