And there will be no car seat left un-adjusted either, with the new Blues boss revealing his in-depth programmed to examine exactly why his star striker has persistently broken down with injury over the past 18 months.
“We look at everything; what’s his diet like, what’s his lifestyle like, what car does he drive, what mattress does he use, how many hours does he sleep a night?
“We’re speaking to him, the medics, the sports scientists, looking at the stats, training programmed, distance covered, high speed running, how many kms in a week, that’s learning about people.”
Dyche admitted that the most important thing will be to understand Calvert-Lewin’s mentality, and he pointed to his head, as he added: “The biggest learning is what is in here and that’s the hard part.”
Yet he also believes the core problem has been the Centre forward’s desire to play itself – despite criticism from some sections of the Everton support, questioning his commitment.
“I don’t think he’s been properly fit throughout this situation because of his own will and demand to keep playing,” Dyche added.
“Some players don’t realize until afterwards that they’ve put so much demand on themselves and they weren’t quite ready. I’ve got to learn about his history, his physiological history.
“We have to get the injury right, but him completely right in terms of his general fitness too, so he doesn’t break down. That’s a balance and I’ll take scientific feedback, medical feedback, sports science feedback, my feedback and his feedback.”
