Jarrad Branthwaite - Sat for cautionary measures Branthwaite is not playing in Tuesday's friendly against Stoke City as a cautionary measure while following a planned reintegration into the squad, according to his club. Impact Branthwaite started in a friendly for Everton on Saturday but will sit out Tuesday, as the defender is still being dealt with cautiously due to a hamstring he suffered at the end of the last season. That said, he is still training and doing well with his fitness, just not playing as they carefully deal with his health after a past of injuries. He will likely continue to appear here and there in the pre-season, set to be fit for opening day.
