Sean Dyche is adamant Everton's fortunes do not rest on the fitness of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and stressed it is his ambition to build an attacking unit that is not reliant on just one player.
The Blues boss placed renewed emphasis on his plan to build a cohesive side that creates enough chances for those who get them to have the "freedom to miss". His opening games have already seen Everton create significantly more chances, a crucial part in building towards progress.
And two wins in his first three matches will also raise confidence among his players in their own ability to cause opposing teams problems, he believes.
