Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Training individually Calvert-Lewin (quad) was seen training individually but isn't expected back for Saturday's trip to Man United.

Impact Calvert-Lewin is on the pitch, but he's not training with the team, so it's hard to see him being ready to play in a couple days. It's a better idea for him to get full rest over the international break and then be an option to start once play resumes against West Ham.

Alex Iwobi - Records start, creates two chances Iwobi created two chances during a 2-0 win Saturday versus Norwich City.

Impact Richarlison will be unavailable because of a knee injury. It allows starting opportunities to Iwobi, who became the Toffees' secondary left midfielder after they signed Demarai Gray. The former created four chances across his last three Premier League starts.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jordan Pickford - Maintains clean sheet Pickford maintained the clean sheet during a 2-0 win Saturday versus Norwich City.

Impact Across his last three English Premier League appearances, Pickford maintained two clean sheets. Those indicate he will be a good goalkeeper when playing weaker EPL teams. However, Pickford is an unfavorable option against Manchester United next Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Yerry Mina - Six clearances, three interceptions Mina recorded six clearances and three interceptions during a 2-0 win Saturday versus Norwich City.

Impact Mina recorded more clearances and interceptions than those his teammates logged Saturday. Concerning the two statistical categories, he must continue supplying great tallies to start in place of Everton's younger yet starter-level central defenders (Ben Godfrey and Mason Holgate).

SEPTEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Abdoulaye Doucoure - Scores goal vs. Norwich City Doucoure scored one goal during a 2-0 win Saturday versus Norwich City.

Impact The Toffees went 3-0 across their first three games at Goodison Park since July. Doucoure scored two goals during that span, showing how he is excelling while Rafa Benitez manages them. The midfielder went goalless across his first seven starts there this year.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Demarai Gray - Contributes to goal again Gray recorded one assist during a 2-0 win Saturday versus Norwich City.

Impact While established teammates Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison are unavailable, Gray will need to continue helping pick up the slack. The former Leicester City footballer has been a great fantasy contributor since his English Premier League return. He contributed to at least one goal during four of Everton's last six EPL games.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Andros Townsend - Scores goal vs. Norwich City Townsend scored one goal during a 2-0 win Saturday versus Norwich City.

Impact Norwich City allowed a penalty kick, which Townsend attempted (and scored) because Dominic Calvert-Lewin was unavailable. The midfielder contributed to at least one goal during each of Everton's last three home games. Townsend recorded two goals across that span.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Digne - Logs nine crosses, one accurate Digne recorded nine crosses (one accurate) during a 2-0 win Saturday versus Norwich City.

Impact Digne averaged 6.8 crosses attempted across Everton's last six English Premier League games. He recorded at least one accurate cross during each appearance and will try to log his first 2021-22 EPL assist against Manchester United next Saturday.

Jordan Pickford - Starting as expected Pickford (shoulder) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Norwich.

Impact Pickford is back in the starting XI Saturday after missing last weekend with a shoulder issue. He has two wins and two goals conceded in two home starts and a matchup against Norwich presents a favorable opportunity.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jean-Philippe Gbamin - Continues to fight quad issue Gbamin continues to miss out because of a quad issue, according to manager Rafa Benitez.

Impact Gbamin was considered a "boost" to the squad last month, but he's yet to appear in league play because of another injury. He simply can't stay on the pitch and it's unknown how much of a role he'll be able to have at Everton.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Andre Gomes - Out against Norwich Gomes (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's match against Norwich because of a knock suffered midweek, according to manager Rafa Benitez.

Impact While it's not serious for Gomes, it's enough to keep him out Saturday. He's yet to start in league play, but Everton are dealing with a ton of injuries and his absence only adds to that, meaning their bench is becoming thin, as well.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jordan Pickford - Could face Norwich Pickford (shoulder) has been training and is considered "okay" ahead of Saturday's match against Norwich, according to manager Rafa Benitez.

Impact This is a surprise update on Pickford, who was given a two-to-three week timeline less than a week ago. Either way, it's good news for Everton and it appears like he'll start Saturday, taking the spot of Asmir Begovic.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Digne - Should be available Saturday Digne (undisclosed) "is okay" and expected to be available for Saturday's match against Norwich, according to manager Rafa Benitez.

Impact It's not a huge update on Digne, but it looks like he'll be ready Saturday after being forced off Tuesday with an issue. He'll be needed because Everton are without a few other players in what should be a spot they need three points from. Of note, Digne took no corners last league match, as Demarai Gray and Andros Townsend split four of them.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Andre Gomes - Forced off in Cup match Gomes was forced off as a precautionary measure in Tuesday's Cup match. According to manager Rafa Benitez, "It was a little problem with the calf for both, so I don't expect they w...

Impact This doesn't sound serious for Gomes, but on a short week, he could miss out on Saturday's match. He missed the first couple matches of the season because of fitness but has appeared in each of the last three in league play, totaling 65 minutes through three contests.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Digne - Picks up knock Tuesday Digne was forced off late in the second half of Tuesday's Cup match. According to manager Rafa Benitez, "I don't think it is very serious. We will see when we check tomorrow."

Impact It's at least a positive sign for Digne, but on a short week, there's a chance he misses Saturday's match against Norwich. More information will be unveiled in the coming days, and for now, he's expected to remain in the XI.

Impact Coleman missed Saturday's defeat against Aston Villa with an undisclosed injury, and he is expected to miss another few weeks now. Ben Godfrey will likely continue on the back line, though Everton haven't locked down a set formation this season and multiple injuries don't help.
