Sean Dyche is hopeful that Dominic Calvert-Lewin will be passed fit for the Merseyside derby after scans revealed no damage from the knee injury he sustained during Sunday’s win over Nottingham Forest.
The striker was withdrawn from the fray in the 67th minute having undergone treatment on the pitch a few minutes earlier after picking up the knock and there were fears that he might be ruled out of the clash with Liverpool.
However, the injury has settled down and while the manager didn’t seem all that convincing in his press conference at Finch Farm, he did say, “we’ll wait and see tomrrow but we’re hopeful” when asked about Calvert-Lewin’s availability.
His usual deputy, Beto, won’t feature, however, after he was knocked unconscious in stoppage time at the end of the 2-0 win over Forest and was taken to hospital as a precaution.
