Everton ace Calvert-Lewin expected to return for Norwich clash
Everton attacker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is likely to return for the Premier League fixture against Norwich January 15, per the Liverpool Echo.
The Toffees were initially scheduled to take on Leicester, but that game has been postponed.
Calvert-Lewin was not even on the bench for the FA Cup win over Hull City, but it’s understood that he was not injured and should be back in the eleven.
The England international did not play a single minute of Premier League football from September to December this season, with his only start after August being on January 2 against Brighton.
Need a win
Goals had dried up in Calvert-Lewin’s absence and that even put Rafa Benitez’s job on the knife’s edge.
Since then, he has signed two players in the January window and is likely to bring in a couple more before the end of the month.
With the England international now back in action, the Spaniard does not have too many excuses left.
He’s got to ensure that the team plays to his strengths so as to maximise their chances of scoring more goals and winning games.
However, a wide attacker and another central midfielder are desperately needed and hopefully, the board sanctions these two signings this month.
Apart from that, with all players back from injury, the Toffees are in a good position to finish in the top 10.
In other Everton news, the club want to sign a player labelled ‘Excellent’ by Cristiano Ronaldo with the European club keen on cashing in.
