Everton have announced Dominic Calvert-Lewin has suffered a setback in his rehabilitation from a thigh injury.
The England striker has not featured since August 28 because of a quadriceps problem but his recovery has not gone smoothly and the Premier League club say he will “remain out for a number of weeks".
“Calvert-Lewin will continue to receive specialist treatment and an update on the England international's fitness will be provided in due course," said an Everton statement.
The 24-year-old, who top scored for the club with 21 goals last season, had scored in each of his first three matches before injury.
