Dominic Calvert-Lewin sends 17-word message after missing Everton win over Burnley

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has sent a brief message to Everton fans after missing his side's 3-1 win over Burnley at Goodison Park on Monday night.

The Blues were victorious thanks to three second half goals in quick succession from Michael Keane, Andros Townsend and Demarai Gray - cancelling out an opener from Ben Mee.

Before the match, it was revealed that Calvert-Lewin would not be involved after picking up a quadriceps injury, which Rafa Benitez later confirmed could keep the striker out for two to three weeks.

However, the 24-year-old was clearly still tuning in to what was happening at Goodison!

And the England international quickly took to social media after the full time whistle had blown to congratulate his teammates and give fans a brief message.

His Instagram story post read: "Lads on fire.

"A little setback for me but can't wait to be back under the lights."

Calvert-Lewin has scored in each of his three Premier League appearances so far in 2021/22 despite being hampered by a toe injury throughout those matches.

The striker was forced to pull out of England duty over the course of the recent international break after picking up a thigh problem in Everton 's 2-0 win over Brighton.
