Dominic Calvert-Lewin injury update as three Everton players ruled out of Wolves clash

Frank Lampard has provided an injury update ahead of Everton’s clash against Wolves On Boxing Day (15.00 GMT).

The Toffees’ Premier League season restarts at Goodison Park following the World Cup. Frank Lampard’s side will be hoping for a good run of results as they currently sit just one point and one place above the relegation zone.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has struggled with injuries all season and made just seven appearances. The striker is back in training, however.

Lampard had previously not committed to Calvert-Lewin featuring against Wolves, with Everton being cautious after rectifying a knee issue during the hiatus of the campaign.

And speaking at his pre-match press conference, Lampard admitted it’s going to be tight for the marksman to be available.

Lampard said: : “It’s going to be tight with Dominic for Wolves. He’s going to be training the next few days. I’m trying to push him a bit for match fitness. The injury feels good, which is the best news. The last thing I want to do is to go too soon with him.

“That’s the question mark over Wolves with Dominic, and we have a lot of games coming up.”

Ben Godfrey has not played since suffered a fractured leg on the opening day of the campaign against Chelsea. However, the England international has made a full recovery and is in contention.

Andros Townsend continues his comeback from an ACL injury he suffered in March. He’s suffered a setback, though.

Lampard said: “Andros has had a bit of a setback so he’s not going to be back for these back for these batch of games.”

James Garner remains sidelined until the new year. Meanwhile, Conor Coady is ineligible to play. The influential defender is on a season-long loan from Wolves and cannot feature.
