Dominic Calvert-Lewin laughed off suggestions Everton boss Sean Dyche has been checking what mattresses the players are sleeping on.
The Blues manager had previously revealed to reporters that his staff were researching the types of mattresses his squad were using in a bid to improve fitness and limit injuries - something Calvert-Lewin has said was a joke.
Everton are now 17th in the Premier League after their 5-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion lifted them out of the relegation zone, but they welcome league leaders Manchester City to Goodison Park on Sunday.
