Frank Lampard confirms huge Everton injury blow for key international ahead of Chelsea clash

Everton have been handed a huge blow ahead of the weekend's Premier League opening match against Chelsea as Frank Lampard confirmed Dominic Calvert-Lewin would miss the game due to injury.

The Blues start their campaign with a trip to Goodison Park, where they have won just once in the past eight trips including a shock 1-0 defeat last season.

Chelsea will be able to boast new signings Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly whilst the Toffees will be without their talismanic striker, giving Thomas Tuchel something less to think about as he prepares to use a defence without Antonio Rudiger or Andreas Christensen.
