Armando Broja, who is on loan from Chelsea, made his first senior appearance for Everton as a late substitute in midweek.

Dyche was asked how close the forward is to being named in the starting XI and if he could be used in tandem with Dominic Calvert-Lewin in attack.

“We’ll learn about him, because we haven’t seen hardly any of him. He’s been out training with us for a couple of weeks but obviously we can only manage so many training sessions where we’ve got three [games] in a week,” he replied.

“I liked what I saw, I like what I’ve seen in training. I like his attitude towards it, his attitude to get fit, he has worked very hard to get fit.

“And I thought [he] had a good cameo [against Wolves]. You get pressure from the opposition, you get pressure to play but also your internal pressure from your group. And the more people you’ve got fit, the more internal pressure there is for players to play well all the time.

“I hope that’ll stimulate others, including himself of course, to play well.”
