- David Moyes confirmed that Jack Grealish was unavailable for Everton’s Premier League clash with Coventry on Friday, while saying the club would work with him again soon.
- Jack Grealish missed Everton’s two games against Newcastle, in the Premier League and Carabao Cup, over the past week following a breach of club discipline.
- Jack Grealish remained absent on Monday: the club cited a lack of fitness, while the disciplinary issue is understood to have arisen from an unauthorised absence from training.
- David Moyes said Grealish still has a future at Everton but did not know when he would return, adding that resolution around the international break remained a wait-and-see.
- Manchester City paid £100m for Grealish in 2021, and he played a key role in the club’s 2022-23 Treble before falling out of favour there.
- Jack Grealish scored twice in 22 games during last season’s injury-shortened loan spell and has made six appearances on his second loan this season; he is out of contract at the end of the season.
Why it matters: Everton will be without Jack Grealish for a third successive match against Coventry while two accounts of his Monday absence remain in play: the club cited lack of fitness, but the discipline breach is understood to involve skipped training. Moyes gave no return date, leaving the Toffees without a stated timeline for restoring the midfielder.
