Everton manager Frank Lampard says Dominic Calvert-Lewin is a doubt for their game against Newcastle United.

The Toffees are facing a massive clash on Thursday, as they look to avoid relegation to the Championship.

Newly installed boss Lampard is hoping to have his main goal scorer fit for the game, but admits Calvert-Lewin will need a late fitness test.

During his pre-match press conference, Lampard said: "Dominic trained lightly yesterday (Tuesday) on the back of not feeling great, so we'll see how he is again this afternoon and then look at the squad tomorrow.

"With [Fabian] Delph, we're hoping for the other side of the international break. With a bit of luck we can integrate him into training within that period.

"[Yerry] Mina is a few weeks away still, at best, so that one is slightly parked. He's working very, very hard, so that's good to see."
