Frank Lampard confirms double Everton boost vs Chelsea as Ben Godfrey time scale revealed

Frank Lampard has admitted Everton will once again be without Donny van de Beek and Ben Godfrey for Sunday’s visit of Chelsea.

The pair were both absent for the 2-0 loss to Liverpool in the Merseyside derby last weekend.

Van de Beek suffered a groin issue while Godfrey sustained a quad problem in the warm-up.

Both will be unavailable again, with Godfrey absent for a few weeks.

Lampard said: “Ben is out and will be a few weeks out.

“We would love to get him back towards the end of the season but it will be a close call.

“Donny is out. Donny is fit and nor is Andre Gomes.”

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has endured a frustrating season and managed only 14 appearances.

He’s missed the previous two games due to a quad setback.

However, Lampard is hopeful the striker will make Everton’s squad.

He said: “Dominic is back in the squad. He’s been training over the past couple of days.”

Yerry Mina will also be back in the Toffees set-up.

He was rested against Liverpool after returning from a two-month injury absence in 1-1 draw with Leicester City previously.

Lampard said: “Yerry is back in the squad. It was more being careful with him.”
