Frank Lampard sends clear double message over Dominic Calvert-Lewin role at Everton

Frank Lampard is convinced Dominic Calvert-Lewin is desperate to contribute to Everton's survival efforts.

The striker - who scored 16 times in the Premier League last year - has struggled for form during a season ravaged by injury. He has not scored since hitting three goals in the first three games of this campaign and missed the Leicester City and Liverpool clashes after his latest setback.

Calvert-Lewin is set to return to the Everton squad for Sunday's tie with Chelsea - though the extent of the role he will be able to play remains unclear. The 25-year-old was back in training this week and, while Everton are desperate for him to recover his goalscoring form, Lampard said he will carefully consider how best to manage his return from injury.
