Dominic Calvert-Lewin insists he has full confidence in his body once again and will embrace the challenge of leading Everton’s fight for survival.
The England striker scored his first goal since last October in Monday’s 2-2 draw, converting a first half penalty, but it was his all-round performance that caught the eye as his physical presence gave Everton a focal point that has been desperately lacking.
It has been a torrid year for Calvert-Lewin, who missed the start of the campaign after breaking down with a knee injury and then had to sit out the first two months of Sean Dyche’s reign after damaging his hamstring in the new manager’s opening game against Arsenal.
