Everton handed huge injury boosts including Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison return

Everton have been handed a raft of huge injury boosts as multiple stars have returned to training ahead of the trip to Norwich City.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison, Yerry Mina, Jarrad Branthwaite and Fabian Delph have all taken part in sessions with their team-mates at Finch Farm.

The only absentee from first team training on Wednesday was Tom Davies, who successful underwent surgery on a hamstring tendon problem on Tuesday.

Calvert-Lewin returned to action for his side in the first match of 2022 having been out for more than four months with a thigh issue.

The England international played the full 90 minutes as Rafa Benitez's side slumped to a disappointing 3-2 defeat to Brighton at Goodison Park, with the manager later admitting he wouldn't have kept him on the field so long in ideal circumstances.

Later images from training didn't show Calvert-Lewin with the rest of his team-mates, and he wasn't in the squad when Everton travelled to face Hull City last weekend.

However, the forward is back involved now - along with strike partner Richarlison who has been missing since the defeat against Crystal Palace last month.

Yerry Mina was absent for a long period of time, before starting the victory against Arsenal and picking up a separate injury in the first half - ruling him out once more up until this point.

Branthwaite, meanwhile, has missed his side's last couple of fixtures with a slight hamstring problem.

It's yet to be seen how many of the returning players will be involved when Everton travel to face Norwich City this weekend.

However, Benitez will certainly be delighted to see his squad slowly returning to full strength once more.
