Grealish’s Season in Jeopardy as Moyes Indicates Surgery Likely

Everton Manager Confirms Injured Star’s Troubles

Everton’s head coach, David Moyes, has revealed that Jack Grealish is “likely” to require surgery for a stress fracture in his foot, suggesting he may miss the entire season.

This injury poses a significant obstacle for Grealish, as it effectively rules him out of contention for a spot in the England team for the upcoming World Cup.

Season Overview

• Player: Jack Grealish
• Club: Everton (on loan from Manchester City)
• Appearances This Season: 22
• Goals Scored: 2
• Assists Provided: 6

Moyes confirmed the injury last week without specifying a timeline for recovery. On Friday, he stated, “We believe he will probably need surgery, although that is not completely confirmed. It likely means he won’t return this season.”

“His absence is a huge disappointment for both him and the club. Jack is an integral part of our team, bringing experience and character, and we will certainly miss him; he has contributed significantly.”

Injury Details

Grealish suffered the injury while playing against his former club Aston Villa in a recent match on January 18.

As Everton sits in 10th place in the league, they are set to face Brighton away this Saturday. When questioned about Grealish’s long-term prospects, especially considering his recent form with Everton, Moyes responded, “It’s far too early to speculate.”

This injury comes at a crucial time when there were discussions about Grealish potentially being called back to the England squad, given his recent excellent performances. His last appearance was under caretaker manager Lee Carsley in October 2024.

Grealish joined Manchester City in 2021 for a British record fee of £100 million, accumulating three Premier League titles, the Champions League, and the FA Cup during his tenure. However, he struggled to find consistent playing time last season, starting just seven league matches.
