Everton boss Dyche explains Calvert-Lewin recovery plan

Everton are set to be without star striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin at the weekend.

The Toffees take on Aston Villa in the Premier League as they look to continue their positive start under new boss Sean Dyche.

Wins over Arsenal and Leeds United have got Toffees fans believing they can avoid relegation.

"I think he's building up well. He's on the grass - he's not with us [in full training] yet but that will come quite quickly, I think," Dyche revealed to reporters about their star striker.

"Like I said, with human bodies there's no absolute definite but our intention is to get him as fit as possible so we can hopefully break this spell of ins and outs and ups and downs with injuries.

"That's what we're hoping to do, whilst also making sure we have him back as quick as possible because we want all players - not just him - available."
