Moyes opens door for Grealish return at Everton

31‑year‑old Jack Grealish remains on a season‑long loan from Manchester City as reports suggest the club do not want him back, while Everton consider terminating the deal.

Grealish was dropped by Toffees boss David Moyes last week after breaching the club’s disciplinary rules by reportedly skipping training.

The England international has not featured for Everton since their Premier League clash with Chelsea on October 17, missing his last four matches, including the 3‑1 win over Coventry City on Friday night.

Speaking ahead of the Coventry victory, Moyes said: “No, Jack is not available. I wouldn’t give you the plan but we will be working with Jack again soon.”

Widespread reports indicate Grealish has returned to the Everton training ground, with Moyes now opening the door for the 31‑year‑old to re‑join his side after the international break.

Manchester City’s stance

Rumours that Everton could terminate Grealish’s loan have been countered by former Manchester City financial adviser Stefan Borson, who told Football Insider that the Citizens “don’t want the player back”, calling him “a headache” and noting he is out of contract in the summer.

When asked in September about his future at Manchester City, Grealish replied: “I don’t know, honestly. I’ll just have to wait and see what happens. I just want to be enjoying myself, and that’s the main thing at the moment.”

Former Arsenal star Ray Parlour insisted that David Moyes will not tolerate any indiscipline from Grealish and that the winger must step up to help the younger players at Everton.

Parlour added that Grealish’s age and the depth of England’s attacking options mean his chances of returning to the national squad are slim, saying “all Jack has got to worry about is playing well for his club” and that “his time has probably gone now”.
