Everton are set to be without Dominic Calert-Lewin for this weekend’s game against Aston Villa at Goodison Park.
The 25-year-old has been restricted to 30 appearances over the past two seasons by a variety of injury problems and his absence has been sorely felt, with Everton failing to sign a goalscorer last summer or in January.
Calvert-Lewin missed the recent Merseyside derby defeat to Liverpool at Anfield, and was also absent for his side’s 1-0 win over Leeds United last time out. And now the forward is set to miss Saturday’s crucial game with Villa, but Dyche is hopeful the England international will be able to return shortly.
