Everton manager Frank Lampard has issued an emphatic declaration over Jordan Pickford’s fitness while providing an update on Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
England number one Pickford had to sit out the Three Lions’ two UEFA Nations League fixtures against Italy and Germany last week after also missing the Blues’ last game against West Ham United with a thigh injury.
Asmir Begovic deputised in goal against David Moyes’ Hammers and kept a clean sheet as Neal Maupay’s strike gave Everton their first Premier League victory of the season. But asked in his pre-match press conference for Saturday’s trip to Southampton whether Pickford was 'good to go', Lampard replied: “Yes. Good news.”
