Everton coach David Moyes has confirmed that Jack Grealish still has a chance to return to the team, but he could not say when the player will return to play. The former England player missed both of Everton's wins over Newcastle in the past week due to a disciplinary issue.
Specifically, the 31-year-old player, who is on loan from Manchester City, was not present for the team's 3-1 Carabao Cup win on Thursday, a decision made by the club after it was reported that he was absent from training without permission. Continued to be absent on Monday for the Premier League match, where Everton won 1-0 at St James' Park thanks to a goal from Thierno Barry.
Although Everton said Grealish did not play due to not being physically fit, Moyes was quite tight-lipped when asked about this player's condition. "At the moment he is unavailable and we will make a decision with the club when he can return," Moyes told BBC Sport. Asked if the disciplinary issue had been resolved, he said: "No, I can't comment on that."
Everton's next match is at home to Coventry on Friday (20:00 GMT), and Moyes is unsure whether Grealish will be available for that match. However, when asked about the possibility of Grealish's return to the club, Moyes insisted: "Of course."
Grealish is trying to rebuild his career at Everton after falling out of favor at Manchester City, where he cost the club £100m in 2021. The player played a key role in helping City win the Treble in 2022-23, but is out of contract at the end of this season. He scored two goals in 22 games for Everton last season in a loan deal that was interrupted by injury. The midfielder returned to the club on a second loan deal this season but made just six appearances before being dropped from the squad.
What happens next
Everton's next match against Coventry next Friday will be an opportunity for the team to consolidate its position in the Premier League rankings. Coach Moyes will need to make a decision on whether to bring Grealish back to the squad or not, depending on this player's physical condition and disciplinary issues.
