Could it be a mental health issue perhaps?
That's why I'm reluctant to criticise the lad.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin himself, after he scored the winner against Palace last season that guaranteed our survival, said that talking therapies had literally saved his life.
Before we condemn the kid for being a wuss we must first know exactly what's wrong with him. If it's a tight calf or whatever then that's a joke, but I fear that it could be much more serious than that.
I don’t think he’s a wuss for a second, other than the odd contrary poster on here, surely we all know he’d run through brick walls for this club.
There’s something physically not right that’s become a chronic issue and can only be managed, not properly healed - is my guess - might be causing all these other niggles. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s really affecting him mentally as well, when you compare where he was at the end of Carlo’s last season - stock was high. We’ve seen how that’s affected Sancho at Man Utd.
Shame, love DCL but beginning to think his body won’t be able to do what he or we need it to again.
