Leighton Baines 300
Baines is looking forward to the new Premier League campaign after the disappointment of missing out on a trip to the World Cup in South Africa.
The former Wigan player was a member of England’s provisional 30-man squad for the tournament but failed to make the final cut.
Everton begin their campaign with a trip to Blackburn Rovers on August 14.
Baines, speaking at a promotion for club sponsors Chang beer, said: “Hopefully there’ll be positives to come out of a negative and I’ll feel fresher come the start of the season.
“The summer is always nice and enjoyable.
“You relax and spend some time with the family – I think everyone enjoys it. “I put my feet up and fully relaxed during those four weeks but, now it is coming to an end, I think everyone is ready to come back.
“I’ve had a nice few weeks’ break but I was more than happy to come back and get training again.”
