Alcaraz in training as snoods return to Finch Farm

Winter transfer window signing Carlos Alcaraz was spotted in training with Everton for the first time on Wednesday.

The Argentine midfielder joined the Toffees on loan from Flamengo for the remainder of the season, with David Moyes' side holding the "option" of purchasing the player at the end of the campaign.

The 22-year-old appeared in good spirits as he went through his paces with his new team-mates for the first time and could be included in the squad for Saturday's FA Cup fourth round tie against Bournemouth.

Meanwhile, the chilly weather at the Finch Farm training ground saw the return of snoods being worn by some of the Everton players.

Former manager Sean Dyche had banned the winter garment during his tenure, telling the media shortly after taking over: "No, I don't let them wear snoods, hats are not allowed either."

Dyche explained: "The rules of the game state you can't wear either in an actual match. It's just logic."
