Everton boss Sean Dyche has issued an update on the fitness of three players including Dominic Calvert-Lewin ahead of the clash with Nottingham Forest this Sunday (2pm).
Forest will host the Toffees at the City Ground, as they look to end a three-game winless run. The visitors, meanwhile, fell to a heavy 4-0 defeat to leaders Arsenal in midweek.
Calvert-Lewin has missed out on the last four games after sustaining a hamstring injury last month. Ahead of the clash, Dyche has remained tight-lipped about the striker's availability.

"He's recovering, getting stronger," Dyche said when asked for an update on the player. "We'll see [if he features]."
Elsewhere, Nathan Patterson and James Garner have stepped up their respective recoveries. "Patto is a little bit behind because he got a knock on his knee but he played 70 [minutes for Everton's under-21s] last night," Dyche added.
"Jimmy came through it, he came off right near the end but it was only common sense so Jimmy is a bit closer than Patto."
