 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the Everton News Daily. Sean Dite has given his first pre-match press conference ahead of the new 23-24 Premier League season. The manager was asked about the fitness of Dominic Calvert-Lewman and whether he'd be involved in Saturday's game. This is what the manager had to say about that. We were more being cautious over the last couple of games, as you can imagine, because the squad is still a bit skinny. We've got a couple in and loans and stuff, a couple of injuries still that are going to take a bit of time. So, yeah, it's more managing the players, but no, he's fine. He's earlier. Yeah, but he just needs game. He needs game time, Dom, because unfortunately the games have just run out in pre-season for him. If it could have been a couple of weeks earlier, we could have got more game time in, but he's fit and well as we go. Generally, we're just finishing off the games programme and as long as he comes through that, then he'll certainly be, we'll be looking forward to having him back. We'll have to make a call on that. I've spoken to him about it anyway and how he's feeling and stuff like that, so make a call on that. There you go. I'm still going for East. He's playing a little bit jiggery pokery there. I think Dominic Calvert-Lewman will be involved. I think he'll start, but what do I know? What do I know? Damana Tewis also asked about injuries to other players in the squad. And Sean Dyche gave this update on those players. Deli, unfortunately, has had a setback. He's finding himself, which is important, of course, after the recent news. He's welling himself, but obviously it's a setback when he was just getting fit and he was just back in training, so that was an ideal. He's a bit of time, but anyway, he's got time anyway. We know that to make sure he's well on the pitch and off the pitch. Do I unfortunately, it's not going to be days, it's going to be weeks. Loads of weeks, we're waiting to see, but certainly it won't be days. That's an unfortunate one. An ankle ligament injury. It's never, in my experience, not been injured very often. So we're hopeful that his body deals with that pretty quick. Show me just on his way. Natural part of his rehab or coming through the natural part of his rehab. So this is more of a timescale thing, as regards the plan that was in place for that type of injury. One player that wasn't mentioned there is James Sarkoff. The manager confirmed he is fit and ready. He will also be the captain when James Coleman isn't in the side. But it's good news that he will be available to face Fulham on Saturday. He moved on to transferring Cummins. Try to push, vinyl connect from Sky. Try to push the manager on a evident move for Wilfrid Nonto and also where they were up to with Yousaf Chimitty. This is what you and I had to say. Well, as you know, I don't tend to speak about other players. He's a good player. There's lots out there. What I will speak about is Yousaf. He's nearly at a situation for me to be clear on. It's very close now. So that's why I'm happy to speak about that one. So hopefully that will get done. And that's a young player, of course, who can, like I say, add a different layer and a different dimension to rebuilding or adding to the squad. So yeah, there's a number of players out there. I've said all along we're working hard, which we are doing. So let's see what we can open up. There you go. Yousaf Chimitty expected to be unveiled tomorrow by Evan. The manager was asked if there was a specific number of new additions he would like in before the transfer window closed. This is what he had to say on that one. Well, there are challenges. That's been apparent. We've been linked with many. That's always the case. No, I think it's not really an exact number, but I think I spoke last year and I think everyone knew it, certainly Abatonians. There was a big imbalance in the squad, too many players in certain positions. So we're having to, and we've somewhat done that, we're having to rebalance. So therefore we need to find that balance. So the players can fill in the slots if you like. But obviously have a quality that we think is appropriate and finding that right mixture. We have got some experience here. Can we find the next young players as well to add into that experience and build the squad in a different way than that has been in the past? And finally, Sean Ditesford has asked about what his expectations are ahead of the new season. Obviously lots of people have got their ideas of what Everton should be aiming for this season. Are they any different from the managers? This is what I have to say. What expectations do you have of your squad? I think overall, doing better than the last, or the last couple of seasons, but obviously in my time here, good work done enough to make sure we're in the division, of course. That was the biggest challenge. And then from there, can we take some of the stuff we've learnt from that forward and improve? I think that's the first step. There you go. Moving on from that, more on Everton's pursuit of Wilfrid Nonto. It's hotten up, it certainly is. Nonto refused to play in Leeds United to one victory over Shrewsbury Town in the Carabaugh Cup last night. The player wants to move to Everton as we've repeatedly said on here, despite some other stories being out there. And the latest thing as him has had them, liking a picture on social media of him in an Everton kit, which has upset the Leeds United fans rightly so, I suppose he's still, of course, a Leeds player. Everton thought to be very, very close now with Leeds United in terms of valuation, which could see the 19-year-old moving to Gullison Park very soon. One player that doesn't look like he's going to be moving to Gullison Park is Paris Saint-Germain striker Hugo Kittikey. Despite an inquiry from Everton and being elated that of his availability by PSG, it's thought that the player wants to remain in France. Obviously, that isn't done and dusted, but that is what is doing the rounds today, so that might be a watch this space one to see how that progresses. Everton do have other interests in strikers, such as Lachio Cheadans, being other names that have been bounced around so far this summer. Finally, Everton's under-21 side will take on Athletic Club, AS Monaco, Firenord and Ben Ffika in the 23-24 Premier Cup. The 21s begin their domestic campaign on Monday, August 14th with a Merseyside derby against Liverpool. That is it for the news daily.
