Everton's David Moyes Commits to Jack Grealish's Recovery Amid Injury Concerns
David Moyes has affirmed Everton’s commitment to winger Jack Grealish, stating the club "will continue doing our best" for him as he rehabilitates from a broken bone in his foot. Grealish, who has been sidelined since mid-January, is unusually continuing his treatment with the Toffees rather than returning to parent club Manchester City, a common practice for long-term loan injuries. The 30-year-old has one year remaining on his contract, with Moyes indicating that future plans would be assessed in the summer. Moyes noted, "We’ve got a few plans in place. Finances will obviously play a big part in it so we will need to navigate round the best we can." He added, "Obviously we like Jack a lot. We’ve looked after Jack all the time since his injury. It’s looking in good order now, the surgeon speaks very well about it and thinks it’s healing greatly." Moyes acknowledged the deviation from standard procedure, stating: "Normally a player would go back to his parent club and be looked after from there, but we will continue doing our best for Jack. He is incredibly well liked inside and outside the building but ultimately he is not our player, he is Man City’s player. We’ve had him on loan for a year and I have to say we’ve enjoyed having him." Grealish previously spent four years at City after signing for the club for £100 million from Aston Villa in 2021. He played a key role in City’s 2022-23 campaign when Pep Guardiola’s men won a historic treble. However, he struggled to find consistent form, leading to his loan to Everton last summer. The English winger started the season strongly at Hill Dickinson Stadium, quickly winning fans over, but his campaign was cut short due to injury in January, ending his hopes of making Thomas Tuchel’s England squad. The German boss named Anthony Gordon and Marcus Rashford as his left wingers, with Eberechi Eze also providing cover. In other news, Moyes revealed that the club is "very close" to finalising a contract extension for left-back Vitalii Mykolenko.
