Graham Potter Chelsea delight as Sean Dyche admits injury blow for Everton ahead of clash

Everton manager Sean Dyche has confirmed Dominic Calvert-Lewin will miss his side's trip to Chelsea on Saturday evening. This comes after the star striker suffered yet another setback in a campaign plagued by injuries.

Dyche has only been able to play Calvert-Lewin once since he replaced Frank Lampard in the Toffees dugout at the end of January. This came during the Merseysiders' 1-0 home win over Arsenal that kicked-off the former Burnley manager's reign.

His absence will come as a relief to Graham Potter and the Chelsea defenders, as Everton have found goals hard to come by in his absence. Dyche, speaking in his pre-match press conference, said that he never expected to have Calvert-Lewin, who wasn't pictured at training, for this weekend's clash.
