Everton suffer double injury blow as stars Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Alex Iwobi are forced off through injury in their second straight defeat

Everton's second game of the Premier League marked a second consecutive loss and a double injury blow to make matters worse.

Speaking after Sunday's 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa, boss Sean Dyche said striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin had managed to avoid concussion after a injury to the face, though he will be assessed.

The striker was substituted off in the 38th minute after colliding with World Cup winning goalkeeper, Emi Martinez.

Consequently, Calvert-Lewin suffered a swollen cheekbone and was forced off, with Dutch star Arnaut Danjuma coming off the bench as a replacement.
