Everton have released a brilliant video of the squad on a team bonding session during an afternoon off in Switzerland.
The Blues are now back home after flying straight to Merseyside immediately following Friday's match with AS Monaco, which ended in a 1-0 win thanks to a brave header in the second half from Seamus Coleman .
Marco Silva's side played their first match in Switzerland last weekend, playing out a 0-0 draw with FC Sion to kick off their training camp in the Alps.
It's now been revealed that, in the wake of that match, the squad were given the afternoon off by the manager after a set of gruelling sessions.
And they used that time to put in a fantastic team bonding session.
Everton's official Twitter account released a video of the whole squad whitewater rafting the day after the stalemate with FC Sion.
