The England international has not played for over a month due to a persistent hamstring injury which has dogged him all season and restricted him to just 12 appearances. But he is edging closer to a return and while Brentford at home may come too soon, Dyche is hopeful he will be available soon. ‘Dom is around it again with us training but it is still making a decision on when he is truly right to come back in and that will be in the next couple of days,’ he s...

Dyche wants to help his Everton squad ‘shine’

Sean Dyche poses for a photograph after becoming manager of Everton FC at Finch Farm on January 30, 2023 in Halewood, England. Sean Dyche says it is his job to make the quality players in Everton’s squad “shine” after being appointed manager. The Toffees sacked Frank Lampard last week with the club 19th in the Premier League and two points from safety. Dyche, 51, who joins on a two-and-a-half-year contract until June 2025, had been out of work since being dismissed by Burnley last April. “Our aim is to put out a team that works, that fights and wears the badge with pride,” said Dyche. “The connection with the fans can then grow very quickly because they’re so passionate. “There is quality in this squad. But we have to make them shine. That’s the job of me and my staff.” Dyche is Evert...
