Jack Grealish has sustained a suspected stress fracture in his foot that could keep him out for a number of months. The attacker will be seen by a specialist in the coming days, after which his prognosis will become clearer.
That’s what David Ornstein is reporting in The Athletic. This comes as a massive blow as Grealish had just returned from a one-match suspension with Everton thought to be considering making his loan move permanent.
But the Blues have been decimated by injuries this season, and a serious injury to the best player in the squad will be difficult to cover… although it could just be the opportunity Tyler Dibling needs to turn around his hugely disappointing first season with the club.
Everton’s injury list still includes Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Jarrad Branthwaite, Tim Iroegbunam and Charly Alcaraz, who are all working their way back to full fitness, while Michael Keane will still be suspended for the next game, at home to Leeds United on Monday night.
Fabrizio Romano reports that Grealish is expected to be out for 3 months after Everton conducted tests on him.
