Everton manager Frank Lampard has confirmed Dominic Calvert-Lewin is back fit for Sunday’s home game against Manchester United. The Blues’ number nine hasn’t kicked a ball all season after picking up what Lampard described as a “freak injury” just days before the opening fixture of the campaign against Chelsea.
Lampard had hoped to have Calvert-Lewin available for the game against West Ham United on September 18 but was not included in the matchday squad and remained out for last weekend’s trip to Southampton when Premier League action resumed after the international break.
Lampard said: “Yes, he’s in contention. We’ll have to see how match-fit he is but in terms of the injury, he’s better.”
