 Hello, welcome to the Everton News Daily powered by the SilverScore app. Everton defender Jared Branthwaite has been called up to the England senior squad for the first time in his career. Jordan Pickford has also been called up for England as they are set to play friendlies against Brazil and Belgium in next weekend. Here's what the England manager Gareth Southgate had to say about the young defender. Here you go, good stuff from Gareth Southgate giving Jared Branthwaite a well-deserved call-up and hopefully you can be involved in the game, especially against Brazil. That would be absolutely fantastic. The Everton fans forum have requested that the club push strongly for the rearranged Massey side derby to be played in April. The game was set to be played this weekend on Sunday at Gotherson Park, of course, but Liverpool are obviously playing in the FA Cup against Manchester United, so the game has had to have been called off. There's very few opportunities for this game to be played. I think there's actually only two with Liverpool's involvement in the Europa League and it would either be the 22nd of April or there are there abouts or the final week of the season. Now no one wants to see Everton have to play the final home game of the season against Liverpool on a Wednesday night before the head to the Emirates to the face Arsenal. So the sooner the better, I think as far as everyone's concerned for that game to just get it out the way. I'm sure both teams will want that and I'm sure Massey side police will want that as well with so much potentially riding on that game if it is in the last week of the season. Everton could potentially face a battle for the young Arsenal striker, Omar Benjamin. In early March Everton took the 18 year old Welshman on trial and he scored for them in his first game in a 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspays under 21s. Benjamin has since returned to Arsenal but is set to be released Everton are reportedly interested in the young Welshman's signature but could face competition from a number of other clubs and of course Everton are struggling at youth level and obviously looking around for all these possibilities and certainly bringing in someone who hasn't quite made the grade of Arsenal and wouldn't be the worst thing in the world and we've seen Everton do this before bringing players in from the likes of Manchester City from the likes of Milan recently as well so we're waiting to see hopefully by getting them in hopefully by him scoring a goal for the under 21s and having a little bit of having a bit of game time and training with team that will help persuade the young man to come and sign for the Toffees we'll have to wait and see on that one.
