Everton are increasingly resigned to the fact that they will be without star striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin for their do-or-die match against Bournemouth, according to the reports.
The relegation-threatened Toffees know that only a win will guarantee their Premier League status going into Sunday's season finale - with a draw or defeat at Goodison Park potentially meaning they drop down to the Championship depending on Leicester City and Leeds United's results.
Everton sit two points above the drop zone thanks to Saturday's 1-1 draw at Wolves, although the result came at a cost with another injury to Calvert-Lewin - this time a hamstring injury.
