Sean Dyche confirms Dele Alli talks after 'banished' report
Sean Dyche says that he will wait until the international break to hold talks with Dele Alli over his Everton future.

And his time in Turkey has so far not gone to plan. So much so that reports have claimed that the 26-year-old has been “banished” by Besiktas manager Senol Gunes for the remainder of the campaign. Takvim state that Gunes has told Dele to watch the rest of the season from the stands.

Sean Dyche gives Dominic Calvert-Lewin injury update
Sean Dyche says Everton are still “monitoring” Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s fitness.
Calvert-Lewin has played just one match for Everton since Dyche took charge of the club at the end of January. The striker played 62 minutes of the 1-0 home win over Arsenal that kicked-off the former Burnley manager's reign but has been sidelined since with a hamstring injury.
The Blues travel to Chelsea in their next Premier League clash on Saturday night as they look to move clear of the relegation zone. Everton are currently in 15th place in the table and one point adrift of the bottom three.
