Everton head coach Sean Dyche has, on Friday, provided an update on the wellbeing of star attacker Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Hitman Calvert-Lewin, of course, has endured something of a nightmare campaign to date.
Owing to a fresh round of injury problems, the English international has managed starts in just nine of Everton’s 22 Premier League fixtures.
In turn, it came as a blow for all associated with the Toffees when, after a long-awaited consistent run of starts following the turn of the year, word was forthcoming that DCL had suffered a setback.
Owing to a hamstring problem, the once-prolific frontman was forced to sit out each of Everton’s last four outings.
Speaking to the media on Friday, the subject of Calvert-Lewin’s wellbeing was therefore inevitably put to boss Sean Dyche.
DCL’s availability, however, currently remains up in the air, viewed as a ‘close call’ to mark his latest comeback at the City Ground:
Dyche admits Calvert-Lewin will be a close call’ for Sunday. ‘We’ve got to get him properly fit [which] I don’t think he has been for a while; we can’t put him in for one game and lose [him for] more.’ James Garner is a consideration after playing for the U21s last night. #EFC
