Struggling Everton boosted by return of Calvert-Lewin
The HinduEverton has been handed a boost in its battle for Premier League survival with injury-plagued striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin ready to return to the squad for Saturday’s crucial away trip to Crystal Palace. “My main concern has just been safeguarding his return, his proper return when he is 100% fit.” Calvert-Lewin took part in a behind-closed-doors friendly at Everton’s Finch Farm training ground this week, playing 70 minutes. “He will certainly be in my thinking, without a doubt.” Everton has 27 points from 31 games, the same as third-from-bottom Nottingham Forest, and faces a Palace side which has surged away from danger on the back of three successive wins since the return of 75-year-old Roy Hodgson as interim manager following the departure of Patrick Vieira. “Things go against you, it’s how quickly you can react.” Dyche said experienced defender Seamus Coleman will be unavailable because of a thigh injury, but Amadou Onana has returned to training following a groin injury.
