Manager gave striker his own time to recover from injury‘We needed to give him a chance when fit, not when I think so’
Sean Dyche believes the patience he invested in Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s rehabilitation is paying off given the Everton striker is close to recapturing the form that elevated him into the England squad.
Calvert-Lewin recently credited Dyche as a major influence in his recovery from two years of injury torment, having scored in three successive games before producing a superb all-round display in the win over Bournemouth before the international break. The 26-year-old claimed his manager’s willingness to wait until the centre-forward trusted and felt good about his body again was a contrast to rushing back to play “at 60%” under other Everton managers.
