The Toffees left London's Heathrow airport on Monday afternoon, bound for Seattle.

David Moyes and his side will train in the American city before travelling to Edmonton, Canada to face Argentine giants River Plate.

The squad will then relocate to Salt Lake, in Utah, to begin preparations for the glamorous clash with the MLS All-Stars.

Moyes has almost his entire squad with him, with only injured trio Victor Anichebe, Mikel Arteta and Phil Jagielka not among the travelling party.

Joseph Yobo (above), Steven Pienaar and Jack Rodwell were reunited with their teammates on Merseyside before embarking on the journey, while Tim Howard will link up with the squad Stateside.

All four of those players were afforded an extra summer break on account of their international commitments at the end of last season.

And Yakubu is also making the trip as he bids to step up his rehabilitation following his Achilles injury.

Dan Gosling misses the trip as he is with England at the European Under-19 Championships.

Travelling squad: Carlo Nash, Tim Howard, Tony Hibbert, Phil Neville, Leighton Baines, Joleon  Lescott, Joseph Yobo, Seamus Coleman, Jack Rodwell, James Wallace, Jose Baxter, Jo, Leon Osman, Tim Cahill, Steven Pienaar, Louis Saha, James Vaughan, Marouane Fellaini, Yakubu.
