The Toffees have been back in training at Finch Farm in small groups while social distancing since 18th May (per Everton).
So, following the footage of some of the latest training sessions, fans continued airing their reactions.
It looks mind numbing. The players certainly don’t look like they’re enjoying it.

With the squad having been training while social distancing since Wednesday last week, the club revealed on Wednesday this week that contact training would be resuming soon (per Everton).
A club statement read that contact training would return after Premier League shareholders voted unanimously for it to do so, which marked another step towards the season restarting (per Everton).
Do you think that the Premier League is aiming to return to action too soon?Yes, it's far too quick
No, it's the right time
