# Everton: Dominic Calvert-Lewin could be injured for ‘around 4-6 weeks’

**[Injury expert Ben Dinnery](https://twitter.com/BenDinnery) says that [Everton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/) striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin could be out injured for ‘around 4-6 weeks’.**

### The Lowdown: Dyche update

Speaking to the media in his pre-game press conference ahead of their match away at Arsenal in the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) tonight, [Sean Dyche](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/sean-dyche/) has confirmed that Calvert-Lewin is still recovering from injury, and did not give a timeframe on when he could return.

He has missed their last [three](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dominic-calvert-lewin/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/306024/plus/0?saison=2022&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) games in the top flight, playing last in Everton’s 1-0 victory against the Gunners at Goodison Park in early February.

### The Latest: 4-6 weeks out?

Speaking to [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/everton-dominic-calvert-lewin-injury-news-sean-dyche-premier-league-goodison-park/), Dinnery says that the Arsenal clash will come ‘too soon’ for Calvert-Lewin, and that he could even be facing ‘around 4-6 weeks’ out with his hamstring problem:

*“We’re certainly not expecting Calvert-Lewin to be involved against Arsenal, that’s probably going to come too soon.*

*“I think we’re potentially looking at around 4-6 weeks or so with regards to that hamstring problem.*

*“It’s not just this injury in particular that the club are focusing on.”*

### The Verdict: New striker needed

Calvert-Lewin is simply too unreliable in terms of fitness, as he has had so many [injury problems](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dominic-calvert-lewin/verletzungen/spieler/306024) in the past.

Former Premier League striker Gabby Agbonlahor has even gone as far as to rant that he is ‘[made out of straw](https://twitter.com/talkSPORT/status/1630852704984522753)‘, in that every little issue seems to affect him hugely.

Calvert-Lewin has been a reliable goalscorer in the past when he has been consistently fit, reaching [double figures](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dominic-calvert-lewin/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/306024/plus/0?saison=&verein=29&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) in multiple top-flight seasons, but when he has been fit this term, he has only managed [one](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dominic-calvert-lewin/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/306024/plus/0?saison=&verein=29&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) goal, which led the Premier League’s record goalscorer Alan Shearer to label his numbers ‘[embarrassing](https://www.football365.com/news/everton-duo-embarrassing-pundit-lays-into-clueless-leeds-shearer-maupay-calvert-lewin)‘.

Nonetheless, with only [17](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) goals this campaign, the Toffees are the lowest scorers in the division, and so they need to sign a more reliable striker in the summer, and perhaps even think of moving [£100,000-per-week](https://fbref.com/en/players/59e6e5bf/Dominic-Calvert-Lewin#all_wages) Calvert-Lewin on.
