Frank Lampard has confirmed that Dominic Calvert-Lewin will miss his first game as Everton manager through injury.
Calvert-Lewin was Everton’s top scorer last season with 21 goals in all competitions but after netting three in as many matches at the start of the current campaign, he was sidelined for four months with a quadriceps injury.
The 24-year-old returned to action against Brighton & Hove Albion on January 2 – missing a penalty which he fired over the crossbar – and has failed to find the net in his last three outings since coming back.
