Dominic Calvert-Lewin could be involved in the matchday squad for Everton’s next game.
The 26-year-old has been out of action since the first tie of Sean Dyche’s reign, when he played the opening hour of the early February win over Arsenal. He has been making progress in recent weeks and the Blues boss said he could be in contention for the game against Crystal Palace.
Should he be in a position to return it will be a significant boost to a side that is struggling under the pressure of injuries and the suspension to Abdoulaye Doucoure.
