Manager expects forward to need surgery on foot injury
Grealish loan from Manchester City has £50m buy option
David Moyes has said Jack Grealish is unlikely to play for Everton again this season, ending the winger’s outside hopes of making England’s World Cup squad.
Everton’s worst fears over Grealish have been realised with the 30-year-old expected to require surgery on a fractured foot. A final decision will be taken in conjunction with his parent club, Manchester City, but Moyes has resigned himself to being without the influential forward for the rest of the campaign.
“We believe he’s probably going to need surgery but that’s still not absolutely confirmed, but it probably rules him out for the rest of the season,” the Everton manager said. “It’s really disappointing for the player, the club, for all of us here. He’s such an important part and he’s a big character with big experience for us and we’ll miss him, he’s done a lot of really good things for us.”
