Everton could be without their leading striker, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, for the opening month of the Premier League season because of a “freak” knee injury sustained in training.
Calvert-Lewin, who missed most of last season through injury, sustained the blow on Tuesday and has been ruled out of the club’s opener against Chelsea on Saturday. But there are concerns the striker will be absent for the next month, giving Frank Lampard a major problem to overcome as he attempts to avoid another season of struggle.
