Godwin ObajeDominic Calvert-Lewin, the Everton striker, is unlikely to start another game this season due to his ongoing fitness issues. According to Dr. Rajpal Brar, a specialist in Physical Therapy and Sports Scientist, Calvert-Lewin has returned to full first-team training, but it’s doubtful he’ll start a match again this season.
Calvert-Lewin has been out of action since January 25, when he suffered a hamstring injury during a win against Brighton. Although he’s made progress in his recovery, starting a Premier League game would be risky given his current fitness level. Everton’s manager, David Moyes, seems to share this view, suggesting Calvert-Lewin might undergo a late fitness test to gauge his readiness for the Ipswich Town match.
Calvert-Lewin’s Current Status:
- Injury: Hamstring injury sustained on January 25
- Fitness Level: Not yet at 100%
- Expected Return: Unlikely to start another game this season
- Training: Returned to full first-team training, but needs more time to prove his fitness
Dr. Brar also emphasized the need for Everton to recruit players with better fitness records, highlighting the club’s history of signing players with injury issues. This has left managers with limited options and made it challenging to deliver results with a depleted squad ¹.
