Frank Lampard confirms news all Everton fans have been waiting for ahead of Man Utd clash

Frank Lampard has confirmed that Dominic Calvert-Lewin is in contention to return to Everton’s squad against Manchester United.

The striker has not made an appearance for the Toffees this season.

Calvert-Lewin sustained a knee injury on the eve of the campaign.

Everton have been managing the England international carefully since his recovery, with Calvert-Lewin being omitted from wins against West Ham and Southampton.

But now Calvert-Lewin could be back against United.

Lampard said: “He’s in contention. Let’s see how match-fit he is but he’s better in terms of his injury.

“Really good boost. He’s a good player for us. We want to get him fit and firing regularly.”
