2022/23 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Shibbywiggles]

Tightness doesn’t mean injury.
Right thing to do to take him off.
If he was subbed during open play I’d be more concerned.
I imagine Dyche asked him how he felt at half time and said if you’re anything less than perfect, sit out the second half and be ready for the last two.

From an article in the I, more optimism about DCL's fitness than I've heard in a while. Dyche deserves a lot of credit for his approach:

Absolutely vintage Everton. Brag about how well you've done to rehab him only for him to get hurt the next game..never learn.

Bear in mind most managers would have brought Dom back earlier into the team than Dyche did even though we needed him badly. Dyche has really played it safe with him and I imagine that is what he is doing here

I'm fairly confident he, like most PL players, are on pain killers most games.

Let's get a bigger syringe then.

Nah. Actually, I strongly suspect DCL just made a sensible decision at 0-2. I reckon the groin and hams have been issues he's been managing, so once the game was gone all parties decided to cut their losses.

I'd expect him to start at Wolves.

If he doesn't, we're depending on a proper tactical effort from the manager and maybe an unexpected bolt from the blue from McNeil or Gray.

Hopefully just a precaution because we are cack without him.

A really good 1st half performance from him today.

 

[Axlswhk]

Inject him with whatever it takes to make him play for 2 more games. Maupay playing means certain relegation.

 

[blueblood]

That’s how it always starts though.

Yup. I seem to recall it was ‘tightness’ when he was taken off against Arsenal and we didn’t see him again for 2 1/2 months.

 

[Nymzee]

It's funny how many people called him crap but when he's not playing we're like Sunday League level.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

I’ll be amazed if he plays again this season. It’s Everton - always assume the worst.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

Shame as he was playing well before he went off and had a thankless task up front on his own.

With the thousands of goal he has scored since 2021...

 

[Mark Bisson]

Dose him up on whatever it takes for the final two games

Thing with stuff like that, that many dont take in, is photos are sometimes took days before they actually get put up on website etc, so he may not be in them and be ok, but as i said earlier even if Dyche says he is ok, i would not trust him till the starting 11 came out

I'm fairly confident he, like most PL players, are on pain killers most games.

Are they? Genuinely curious as I've not heard about that. What level of painkillers. Like tramadol or over the counter?
