Frank Lampard is intent on playing it "smart" with Dominic Calvert-Lewin as he attempts to manage the striker's comeback from injury.
The 25-year-old is yet to play a game for Everton this season after suffering a knee injury just days before the opening match against Chelsea. It is the latest injury ordeal for Calvert-Lewin, who was plagued by issues last season before returning and scoring the goal that secured Everton's Premier League survival.
He now looks unlikely to start against Southampton on Saturday, with Lampard saying ahead of the game: "It’s not playing it safe, it’s playing it with due care."
