All eyes on Dominic Calvert-Lewin as Everton also sweat on fitness of two more players

All eyes will be on whether or not Dominic Calvert-Lewin is fit enough to spearhead Everton’s attack against Bournemouth as the Blues fight to avoid relegation from the Premier League on the final day of the season.

Everton’s number nine went off with a hamstring problem an hour into in Sean Dyche’s first match in charge – a 1-0 win over Arsenal on February 1 – and subsequently missed the next 10 games before returning at Crystal Palace on April 22. Calvert-Lewin has now started the last half dozen fixtures for the Blues but has been withdrawn early in each of the last two.

With Everton already 2-0 down at home to Manchester City, Dyche made a call to take his centre-forward off at half-time because of a tight groin while against Wolverhampton Wanderers he limped off in first half stoppage time with what is suspected to be a fresh hamstring issue.
