- David Moyes confirms Jack Grealish still has a future at Everton after a disciplinary breach.
- The 31-year-old loanee from Manchester City missed both recent wins against Newcastle United.
- Everton moved up to seventh in the Premier League following a 1-0 victory over Newcastle.
Jack Grealish's future at Everton has become a major talking point after the 31-year-old midfielder was left out of the squad for both recent fixtures against Newcastle United. The Manchester City loanee missed consecutive matches as Everton secured victories in both the Carabao Cup and the Premier League under manager David Moyes.
The former England midfielder was omitted from Thursday's 3-1 Carabao Cup win at home by the club following what was understood to be an unauthorized absence from training. He was absent again on Monday for the Premier League clash at St James' Park, where Thierno Barry scored the only goal in a 1-0 win, with the club citing a lack of fitness for his continued absence.

Grealish's loan spell at Everton represents a crucial chapter in reviving his career after falling out of favor at Manchester City, despite commanding a 100 million pound transfer fee in 2021. Although he played an instrumental role in City's historic Treble-winning campaign during the 2022-23 season, his recent struggles for regular playing time have placed immense pressure on his current loan stint.
"Of course there is."
David Moyes
When specifically asked by reporters whether there was still a way back for the midfielder at Goodison Park, Moyes gave a concise and positive response. However, the Everton boss admitted he remains uncertain about exactly when the player will be ready to return to action. The Toffees are set to face Coventry at home on Friday at 20:00 GMT, leaving it unconfirmed whether Grealish will be available for selection.
Prior to his recent suspension and fitness concerns, Grealish had made just six appearances for Everton this season during his second loan spell at the club. His previous loan stint was cut short by injury after scoring twice in 22 games, and with his contract at Manchester City expiring at the end of the season, his performances over the coming months remain critical.
