Everton will be forced to deal with some injury concerns going into the clash against Tottenham. One of them is the fitness of Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Dyche confirmed in his press conference on Thursday that Calvert-Lewin has stepped up his recovery from a hamstring injury. The striker is back running on the grass, but is yet to take part in first-team training.
A start against Tottenham is therefore out of the question, as Everton look to ease Calvert-Lewin back to full fitness before handing him a start or getting him involved in the matchday squad.
Andros Townsend remains an absentee for Everton as he continues his recovery from a knee injury. The 31-year-old has been sidelined since March last year after rupturing his ACL.
A host of Everton players have been away on international duty, including Jordan Pickford, Seamus Coleman, Abdoulaye Doucoure, James Garner and Vitalii Mykolenko. Dyche says that no fitness issues emerged after the players returned after representing their countries.
Predicted Everton line-up vs Tottenham: Pickford; Coleman, Tarkowski, Keane, Godfrey; Doucoure, Onana, Iwobi, Gueye, McNeil, Gray.
