Everton star Dominic Calvert-Lewin could be out until December
Everton star Dominic Calvert-Lewin could be out until December as he struggles to return to full fitness.
The 24-year-old has been missing since the third league game of the season, and it appears as if he could be out for a bit longer as well.
The Toffees have managed to just about scrape by without their top striker, but The Athletic suggest that the England international could miss just a few more games, which must be frustrating Rafael Benitez.
The bad news for Calvert-Lewin continues.
Calvert-Lewin scored three goals in the three games in which he played in, and he looked to be on course for a big season.
However, he has really struggled with this injury, and it doesn’t appear as if he will be back before the end of November.
Therefore, if this report is true, the Toffees will have to use the likes of Richarlison and Salomon Rondon as they look to push on up the table.
Calvert-Lewin is a superb striker, and this injury has damaged the Toffees’ start to the season.
They actually managed to cope without him at the beginning, but they haven’t won in five now and are missing their talisman upfront.
Hopefully, Rondon can finally find the back of the net, while Richarlison could become the Toffees’ main source of goals as they wait for Calvert-Lewin to return.
The only thing Evertonians can do is to sit and wait and hope that the England man is back before this report suggests.
