Loads of Everton fans have been left bemoaning some early team news that has emerged ahead of their game at home to West Ham United on Sunday.

Speaking to the media in his pre-game press conference ahead of the match in the Premier League, Rafa Benitez has now revealed that while both Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison are 'closer' to returning to the team, they will once again 'not be available' against the Hammers.

Both players have been very important to the Goodison Park faithful over the years, and have chipped in with four goals between them so far this season, despite facing a spell out with injury.

With Salomon Rondon struggling to find form as well, as he is yet to score for the Merseyside club in his first five appearances in total over all competitions (Transfermarkt), it could be a struggle for them to find the back of the net.

"Absolutely gutted. Harms our chances massively, West Ham are a very good side and injuries to these two will catch up with us eventually. The drop off in quality upfront is just as high as in central midfield. Tough ask Sunday, hope we can continue to surprise."
