Everton manager Dyche reveals striker injury boost

Everton manager Sean Dyche has confirmed a dual injury boost for his team.

The Toffees head coach spoke about both Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Beto being fit.

The strikers are set to be involved in Everton's game against Luton Town on Friday.

"We'll see," said Dyche on Calvert-Lewin to reporters on Wednesday.

"He was out on the grass today. So we're hopeful for no reaction and therefore he would certainly be in consideration [for Luton]...[Beto] is clear and he trained today."

On youngster Lewis Dobbin, he added: "It's still early. He's had around six weeks out but he played about 65 minutes on Monday - I went over to the game - and we'd like to get him involved sooner rather than later.

"Just before he got injured he had a real chance of playing as he was doing very well. But equally we've got to be fair to his true fitness so he can deliver if and when he gets on the pitch."
