Man CitySet to miss season after surgery
Grealish (foot) confirmed he has undergone successful surgery and won't play again in the 2025/26 campaign, saying "didn't want the season to end like this" on an Instagram post.
Analysis: Grealish ultimately required surgery after suffering a stress fracture in his left foot in January. His absence for the remaining games of the season is a significant blow to an Everton side that had greatly benefited from his production on the left wing when he was available. The attacker scored two goals and six assists over 20 league appearances (18 starts) before suffering the injury. Both Harrison Armstrong and Dwight McNeil may see their playing time increased in Grealish's absence.
Could miss rest of season
Grealish (foot) will probably need a surgery to treat his injury and that would rule him out for the season, coach David Moyes said in the press conference. "We believe Jack is probably going to need surgery. That's still not absolutely confirmed, but it probably rules him out for the rest of the season."
Analysis: Grealish suffered a stress fracture in his foot and will likely need to undergo surgery to treat the issue, which would probably rule him out for the rest of the season. This is not confirmed yet, but further examinations will assess the necessity, and that would be a major blow for the Toffees since he was an undisputed starter in the frontline this season after joining the club on loan in the summer. If he were to be ruled out for months, Dwight McNeil is expected to see increased playing time in the attacking midfield.
No timescale given yet
Grealish suffered a stress-fracture in his foot and is set to miss months despite not having a precise timeline yet, coach David Moyes said in the press conference. "It's not for me to give the timescales, and we've not got it yet from the doctors. He's got a stress-fracture in his foot. It's a big blow because he's been hugely important to us. We've had a few injuries but this is a big blow for us. We're in close contact with Manchester City, so we'll see how that works as we go along, and as we get more decisions from the specialists."
Analysis: Grealish suffered a stress-fracture in his foot after playing 90 minutes in three consecutive Premier League games. The playmaker is likely going to miss months to recover from the injury, although he didn't receive a preciser timeline to return yet. During his absence, Dwight McNeil and Tyler Dibling could see increased playing time on the wings, although Iliman Ndiaye should find back his starting role on the left flank now that he is back from international duty.
Could miss months
Grealish (foot) is at risk of being sidelined for multiple months while he's expected to see a specialist in upcoming days, David Ornstein of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Grealish may be out for a prolonged spell, although the full extent of the issue is not yet clear. This news comes after the attacker played 90 minutes in three consecutive EPL games, providing two assists over that period. If the severity of the injury is confirmed, Dwight McNeil and Tyler Dibling will see increased opportunities on the wings.
Suffers foot injury
Grealish is out for the time being due to a foot injury and is set for further assessment, according to his club.
Analysis: Grealish is hitting the sidelines after the club announced he suffered an injury, a surprise hit to the club after playing 90 minutes Sunday. He is now set for further assessment and is likely to miss time moving forward, with his exact absence to be decided after testing. This is a major inconvenience for the club as they lose their best man in the attack, with Dwight McNeil as a possible replacement.
Three shots in victory
Grealish registered three shots (zero on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 win over Aston Villa.
Analysis: Grealish was Everton's most consistent ball carrier, drawing a season-high six fouls and winning free kicks in both halves as he drove into traffic. He had a first half effort blocked and ended the game with three shots, none of which were on target. While he couldn't register a goal contribution, his presence in the frontline of the Toffees was key in controlling the important areas of the game to secure all three points against Aston Villa.
Clears suspension
Grealish is no longer banned and is an option for the club moving forward.
Analysis: Grealish has served his ban after a match with two yellow cards and will return to action next outing, a huge boost for his club. He is likely to earn the start immediately after the ban and add to his goal tally, his last coming Dec. 2 and remaining at eight goal contributions in 19 appearances (17 starts).
Receives red card in draw
Grealish was sent off with a second yellow card during Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton.
Analysis: Grealish played almost the entire match but earned a pair of bookings due to arguments in the second half. The talented midfielder will consequently miss the FA Cup meeting with Sunderland before returning to contention to face Aston Villa on Jan. 18. Dwight McNeil and Tyler Dibling might be active while Grealish serves his ban, with Iliman Ndiaye offering another attacking midfield option when he returns from international duty.
Assists twice Sunday
Grealish assisted twice to go with six crosses (three accurate) and four chances created in Sunday's 4-2 loss versus Brentford.
Analysis: Grealish assisted both of his side's goals Sunday, setting up Beto and Thierno Barry's goals in the loss. He now has six assists on the season and all of them have come in matches where he recorded multiple assists. He created four chances for the first time since Sept. 29 and set a season-high with three accurate crosses, putting in his best performance since early this season despite the loss.
Fully fit again
Grealish is fully fit again and appears to be ready for starting time, according to manager David Moyes. "[Jack] is much better, he looks much better, much fresher in the face and sharper. He had a really bad illness, and it affected him with sickness and all of the other stuff that comes with it. He's looking a bit better now and is certainly back in training."
Analysis: Grealish is no longer dealing with his illness and can admit a clean bill of health after he was only an option off the bench in the last match, appearing in training this week. This should clear the winger to return to the starting XI moving forward, looking to add to his two goals and four assists.
Called up to bench
Grealish (illness) is on the bench for Tuesday's match against Nottingham Forrest. "We don't have a lot to make changes and we've only got Jack Grealish back on the bench. He shouldn't be, he's still ill, but if we need him for a small period then we might need to use him, but if I had my way he wouldn't be on the bench at all."
Analysis: Grealish has returned from his illness after some late testing, an option but not fully available as he starts on the bench. He is likely to earn time before receiving a start next contest, looking to improve upon his six goal contributions in 16 appearances this season (15 starts).
Hopeful to face Nottingham
Grealish (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's match against Nottingham Forest, according to manager David Moyes. "There's a chance [players are back for the game], so we'll hope so. We'll wait and see."
Analysis: Grealish is working on his return from an illness, and with a quick turnaround into Tuesday's game, he is hopeful to be an option. This will likely be followed by some late testing, needing to pass his fitness tests to be an option. He is a regular on the left this season when fit, recording two goals and four assists, likely to immediately earn the start once fit.
Out with illness
Grealish is out for Saturday's game against Burnley due to an illness, manager David Moyes told media. "He's just got a bit of a virus and not been well over Christmas time, so he's not available today."
Analysis: The loss of Grealish is another significant blow for an Everton side that will be without Ilman Ndiaye (AFCON) and Kieran Dewsbury-Hall (hamstring). Grealish will aim to return against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, Dec. 30.
Starting against Gunners
Grealish (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Arsenal.
Analysis: Grealish is in the starting XI Saturday after recovering from a hamstring injury, a major boost to the team. He immediately earns the start and should remain in this role, looking to add to his six-goal contributions in 15 appearances (14 starts) this season.
Available against Arsenal
Grealish (hamstring) is fit and back available for Saturday's clash against Arsenal, coach David Moyes said in the press conference. "Jack's okay. He'll be fit and available for the game."
Analysis: Grealish felt his hamstring in the last game against Chelsea but is fully fit and available to play against Arsenal on Saturday. His substitution against the Blues was only precautionary and Grealish should claim back a starting role in the frontline against the Gunners.
Four shots in loss
Grealish registered four shots (one on goal) and three crosses (one accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Chelsea.
Analysis: Grealish was Everton's most dangerous player on Saturday against the Blues, repeatedly gliding into the box and forcing Robert Sanchez into a first half block with his shoulder. He later missed a major chance when he met a cross at the back post but failed to hit the target from close range. Grealish set a new season high with four shots but could not find the back of the net, as he remains on two goals scored in 15 appearances for the Toffees this season.
Nets only goal in win
Grealish scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 1-0 victory versus AFC Bournemouth.
Analysis: Grealish buried his second of the season with a shot from outside the box, assisted by Carlos Alcaraz in the 78th minute of play. This was the first time in six outings where Grealish had multiple shots in a match. Moreover, this was his second straight outing with a chance created, bringing him to 21 chances created in his last 10 appearances.
One shot in draw
Grealish recorded one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Sunderland.
Analysis: Grealish's goal involvement has dipped recently, with just one goal and no assists across his last six league matches after opening the season with four assists in his first two. He has still been active in attack, creating 16 chances and attempting eight shots during that run.
Creates three chances Sunday
Grealish generated one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 3-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 71st minute.
Analysis: After being forced to miss last week's clash at Manchester City due to a loan lock, Grealish returned to the starting XI and put together a solid performance. He created three chances for the fifth time this season, adding one off-target shot and four crosses on the attack. He contributed on the defensive end too, as he won six duels, intercepted two passes, made one clearance, blocked one shot and won one tackle in his full 90 minutes of action.
Back available after loan-lock
Grealish is back available to play for Everton following his loan-locked against his parent club Manchester City.
Analysis: Grealish couldn't play in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against his parent club Manchester City but is now back available for the Toffees. The winger has been brillant for Everton so far this season, contributing one goal and four assists in seven Premier League appearances and will look to add more to his tally as soon as on Sunday against Tottenham where he should find back his starting role in the frontline.
