Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is holding out hope of making England’s World Cup squad and putting the worst year of his career behind him.

The 25-year-old missed four months of last season with injury and struggled to rediscover his form while a knee problem on the eve of the current campaign delayed his introduction until a fortnight ago.
