Dominic Calvert-Lewin has revealed that his injury problems this season forced him “to do a lot of soul searching” as Everton battled to retain their Premier League status without him.
Calvert-Lewin returned to fitness to head in a dramatic winner just five minutes from full-time in Everton’s final home match of the season to complete a 3-2 comeback victory over Crystal Palace and secure the club’s Premier League status.
However, with the England international – who was the Blues’ top scorer with 21 goals in all competitions in 2020/21 – out for over four months from late August to January with a quadriceps injury, the team struggled badly without him.
