Jack Grealish

Everton have been dealt a significant blow after Jack Grealish was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his foot, an injury that could sideline him for the remainder of the season.

The 30-year-old winger, currently on a season-long loan from Manchester City, picked up the problem during Everton’s 1-0 victory away at Aston Villa. Despite completing the full match, Grealish was later referred to a specialist, where the extent of the injury was confirmed.

Jack Grealish Blow Impacts Everton and England Hopes

Grealish has been a key figure for the Toffees this season, contributing two goals and six assists in 20 Premier League appearances, and has been pushing for a return to the England setup ahead of the World Cup.

The setback also raises questions over Everton’s Β£50 million option to make the move permanent, with Moyes admitting the club may now consider reinforcing the squad during the transfer window.

While Everton received a boost with several players returning to training and the return of Idrissa Gueye and Iliman Ndiaye from international duty, Grealish’s absence remains the biggest concern as the club navigates a crucial stretch of the season.

The injury is another hurdle for the England international, who was previously overlooked for Euro 2024 but had been hoping to impress under new national team leadership and keep his World Cup ambitions alive.
