Sean Dyche weighing up Dominic Calvert-Lewin decision after declaring Everton striker 'is back'

Sean Dyche could consider giving Dominic Calvert-Lewin minutes with Everton’s Under-21s as part of his progress toward match fitness.

Calvert-Lewin has been out of action with a hamstring injury since playing the first hour of Dyche’s first game in charge, the 1-0 home win over Arsenal on February 4.. But he is nearing a return and joined first-team training at Finch Farm on Thursday.

The 25-year-old was not ready to be introduced to the matchday squad for the 1-0 home victory over Brentford on Saturday, though, and with a 16-day break after next weekend’s trip to Chelsea, and Dyche stressing the importance of time to his recovery, he could be absent at Stamford Bridge. Dyche is happy with the progress Calvert-Lewin is making, however.
