Dominic Calvert-Lewin has opened up on the 'most difficult 12 months' of his career and hit back at claims he isn’t interested in football.
Everton supporters have seen very little of the goalscoring number nine over the past 15 months. After netting 21 goals in all competitions during the 2020/21 season, Calvert-Lewin spent four months out between September and December last term with a quadriceps injury before returning to fitness.
However, another injury was then picked up following the arrival of Frank Lampard in January. But the England international delivered when his side needed him most, scoring the goal that secured Everton’s top-flight status as he headed home the winner in their 3-2 comeback victory over Crystal Palace in their final home game of last season.
