Frank Lampard provides concerning Everton injury update on Ben Godfrey after he leaves Goodison on crutches

Frank Lampard admitted that Everton defender Ben Godfrey’s injury he picked up in the victory over Brentford is ‘not good’.

Godfrey limped out of the 4-1 FA Cup defeat of the Bees in just the 14th minute.

He was replaced by Yerry Mina, who opened the scoring for the home side in what was a perfect start to Lampard’s reign as Toffees boss.

Godfrey was then spotted leaving Goodison Park on crutches after the final whistle.

Lampard confessed the England international faces a spell on the sidelines although he couldn’t give a time frame.

The Everton boss said: “It’s a hamstring injury, which is to be assessed.

“It’s not good, he will be missing for a period of time. I don’t necessarily know the severity of the injury but it’s a hamstring.”
