Jack Grealish's hopes of making England's World Cup squad have all but evaporated following his red card for Everton against Wolves, according to reports. The 30-year-old was sent off for two acts of petulant dissent, drawing sharp criticism from manager David Moyes, who said he had already spoken to the player about his behaviour.
Grealish's loan spell at Everton started brightly, with assists against Brentford earlier this month ending a four-month drought. However, his overall form has tapered off, with only two goals in 21 appearances for the Toffees. Despite playing regularly, his output has not been enough to put him back in contention for Thomas Tuchel's World Cup plans.
The midfielder last played for England on October 13, 2024, scoring in a 3-1 win over Finland in Helsinki. Tuchel recently spoke with Grealish at Old Trafford, but sources suggest his chances of being selected are slim. Grealish's red card and subsequent dip in form have effectively ended his World Cup dream.
Nevertheless, Grealish remains a popular figure in football, known for his infectious personality and entertaining style. He will have a chance to remind fans of his talent when Everton face Aston Villa later this season. A strong second half of the campaign could help him prove he still belongs on the biggest stages, even if the World Cup is out of reach.
