Leeds United have been handed a key boost, as Everton's talisman Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been ruled out for six weeks through injury. It means the towering striker will miss Everton's trip to Elland Road to face Leeds on Tuesday, August 30.
The striker missed much of last season through injury, and he is set to miss the opening weeks of the new Premier League campaign, which could hinder Everton, who are hoping to improve on last season's 16th-placed finish, in which they, along with Leeds, flirted with relegation. The 25-year-old scored five goals in 17 appearances last season.
"Losing a player like Dominic, with his quality, in the week going into the first game is obviously going to affect you," said Toffees boss Frank Lampard in his press-conference ahead of Everton's game against Chelsea on Saturday.
