Everton boss Lampard: Great to have Dom back

Everton boss Frank Lampard is happy to have Dominic Calvert-Lewin back.

The striker featured in defeat to Manchester United on Sunday.

Ahead of Saturday's trip to Tottenham, Lampard said: "It's great to have Dom back, he's not taking part in every part of training in terms of getting him fit and robust and staying fit. We just have to see how quickly we can get him to that optimum level over the next days and weeks.

When asked about Anthony Gordon's suspension after receiving five yellow cards already this season, Lampard said "it is what it is."

Lampard continued: "[Abdoulaye] Doucoure had a family issue but is back in the squad for tomorrow. Mason [Holgate] is training but not ready to be in the squad yet. Yerry [Mina] had a set back this week and won't be in the squad."
