Richarlison is expected to be among the Everton players whose return to pre-season training is staggered.
The Blues return to Finch Farm on Friday for Covid-19 testing and are then back at the club's training base on Sunday to begin preparations for the new Premier League season.
Everton are conscious of the packed 12 months which awaits a number of their international players with the Euros and Copa America due to take place next summer, just two weeks after the end of the league campaign.
And so the club say they have offered a clutch of players the chance to take extended breaks and return to training with Carlo Ancelotti towards the end of the month.
Richarlison, who has been holidaying in Portugal, will have to quarantine for 14 days upon his return to the UK, as per government guidelines, this week and so will use that time as part of his extended rest period.
Bernard, who returned to Brazil and will have to self-isolate upon his return, is another not expected to be back at Finch Farm this week.
All players were provided with information packs, relevant timelines and had to inform the club of their holiday plans following the end of the campaign, given the strict rules in place on travellers returning to the UK from certain countries.
The new season is due to start on September 12, with fixtures expected to be released late next week, and some players are said to have turned down the opportunity of an extended break as they prepare for Ancelotti's first full season in charge.
