Everton head coach Sean Dyche has, on Sunday evening, provided an update on the wellbeing of star striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
For those who may have missed it, Calvert-Lewin sent fresh alarm bells ringing across the Everton fanbase earlier today.
This came amid the England international’s return to action, a Premier League trip to Unai Emery’s Aston Villa.
Calvert-Lewin featured from the off at Villa Park, but was withdrawn in concerning fashion late in the first-half.
After challenging Villa shot-stopper Emi Martinez in the air, the pair clashed heads, leaving DCL downed and in evident pain.
A nasty lump subsequently formed under the right eye of the frontman, leaving boss Sean Dyche with little choice but to hook Calvert-Lewin for summer signing Arnaut Danjuma.

Speaking to the media post-match, as much, in turn, was put to the aforementioned Sean Dyche.
In a boost for the Toffees, though, the club’s boss went on to reveal that, in fact, Calvert-Lewin was not concussed.
Instead, he suffered an injury to his right cheek, resulting in partial impairment of his vision.
