Sean Dyche says he has helped advise Dominic Calvert-Lewin on how to deal with injuries... with Everton manager having been forced to retire early as a player due to fitness issues

Sean Dyche had to retire early as a player due to a string of injuries, one of which included him rushing back to start games when he was far from fully fit - and the Everton boss says he has used his lessons from that episode to advise Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

The striker started just 30 of 76 Premier League matches across the last two full seasons due to long-standing injury issues, with Calvert-Lewin admitting he often rushed back to play at just 60 per cent fitness as he felt a duty to help his team, who have experienced back-to-back relegation battles.
