Sean Dyche has issued an injury update on Dominic Calvert-Lewin ahead of Everton's clash with Arsenal. The 25-year-old striker watched the Toffees' defeat to Aston Villa from the directors' box at Goodison Park as he continues to rebuild his fitness following a hamstring issue.
Calvert-Lewin, who was once heavily linked with a move to the Gunners, has featured just once for Everton since Dyche replaced Frank Lampard in the dugout. And, his absence from the squad looks set to continue as Arsenal prepare to welcome Everton to Emirates Stadium on March 1.
Speaking after the Toffees' loss, Dyche admitted that he does not expect Calvert-Lewin to be available for the trip to north London on Wednesday. When asked about the chances of him playing, he simply replied: "I doubt it."
