Looks like it’s true. Stress fracture and out for 6-7 weeks. No return date mentioned yet for Calvert-Lewin or Richarlison either.

 

[Stan Hullis]

I look forward to watching our back 3 be bullied by Rondon in that case then

Guaranteed goal for him then?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Calvert-Lewin won't be back for our game, out for a while longer yet.
