Everton suffer injury blow with star striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin ruled out of rearranged clash against Man City with a hamstring problem... but Carlo Ancelotti is hopeful England man will be fit to face rivals Liverpool

Dominic Calvert-Lewin will again be absent as Everton host Premier League leaders Manchester City - but manager Carlo Ancelotti hopes the striker will be fit to face rivals Liverpool this weekend.

The 23-year-old missed Sunday's surprise 2-0 home loss to struggling Fulham after picking up a hamstring complaint in last Wednesday's 5-4 FA Cup fifth-round win over Tottenham.

Ancelotti had expected to be able to call upon Calvert-Lewin against Premier League leaders City but the Everton boss says the striker will not be available on Wednesday.

'Not available for sure, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and (Jean-Philippe) Gbamin,' the Italian said at his pre-match press conference on Tuesday.
