Kevin Campbell sends message over form of Dominic Calvert-Lewin since Everton return

Former Everton striker Kevin Campbell has urged fans to be patient as striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin rediscovers his form.

Calvert-Lewin has just returned from a lengthy spell on the sidelines as the Toffees attempt to climb the Premier League table.

Since returning to the first-team at the start of January, the England international has yet to find the back of the net in five games as he continues to build up his match fitness.

Campbell believes the 24-year-old will get back to his goalscoring ways as he is a 'good player' and sometimes it takes a while for a player to get back to their best after a long-term injury.

“When you come back from injury, you want to hit the ground running but it just hasn’t worked out for him that way,” he told Goodison News .

“Sometimes you can’t put your finger on why it isn’t working out because you do all the right things.

“But for him, it’s just not happening and it’s going to take a little bit longer to get going and that’s what it seems like for him. He’ll be fine, he’s a good player.”

Calvert-Lewin scored in Everton's opening three games before picking up an injury against Brighton and Hove Albion in August, keeping him out of the side for three months before seeing the field in the 2-1 defeat to Norwich City on January 15.
