Lampard’s injury concern hands Chelsea big boost ahead of Everton

Well, well, well, the Premier League season is upon us and the West London club, Chelsea sets to play the Merseyside Blues of Everton this weekend.

But trouble seems to come for Everton coach, Frank Lampard as he confirms a key player of his is out injured ahead of the opening game against former club, Chelsea.

The Chelsea legend reveals that striker, Dominic Calvert Lewin will inevitably miss Everton’s Premier League clash with Chelsea due to his recent injury.

The Everton boss confirms the extent of the injury will be assessed, revealing it will be a shame that the England international will not play against Chelsea in the weekend.

The striker sudden a ‘freak injury’ prior to Everton’s premier league clash during training for the opener on Saturday at Goodison Park.

“We are assessing Dom’s injury. No timeframe has been confirmed and we are pretty sure what level it is, so we are hopeful it is not long-term.

“We will miss him for Chelsea. He was looking in great physical condition and was training really well. It was a freak injury in training, which does happen.

“It is a shame, but we have to find the solutions to keep ourselves strong without Dominic before he returns,” Lampard said as quoted by Metro UK ahead of the match.

The situation will be quite the boost for Chelsea who look to begin the season in fine form and challenge for the league and top 4 spot this season.

With Everton having lost Richarlison to Tottenham this summer, Frank Lampard is in a race against time not to fall in the pitfalls of last season’s relegation battle.
