Dominic Calvert-Lewin has suffered another minor setback and his anticipated return from injury has been delayed by at least another week.
Calvert-Lewin started the season with dreams of making it into England's World Cup squad but there is little possibility of that happening now, as the earliest he will return to Premier League action is against Manchester United on October 9.
The striker was injured on the eve of the campaign and Frank Lampard had hoped to get Calvert-Lewin up-and-running against West Ham on September 18 but was forced to pull him out of that game and Everton's manager will hold him back against Southampton, too.
