Everton manager Frank Lampard has confirmed striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin will be out for up to six weeks with a knee injury.

He spent much of last term on the sidelines but returned for the final four league games, with the England international scoring the crucial goal to help keep his club in the top flight.
