Everton will return to Premier League action on Thursday night, looking for a much-needed win over Newcastle United at Goodison Park.
The Blues fell to a narrow 1-0 defeat to Wolves on Sunday to leave Frank Lampard ’s side above the relegation zone on goal difference. With the teams around them starting to pick up points, Everton have been placed into a perilous position, despite still having games in hand over their relegation rivals.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday, the Everton boss gave fitness updates on several members of his squad , including Dominic Calvert-Lewin. The England international missed the defeat to Wolves through illness and though the striker has since returned to training, Lampard said the 25-year-old would need to be assessed ahead of Thursday's game, while Yerry Mina is still unavailable.
