Jack Grealish is set to miss his fourth consecutive Everton match when Coventry City visit Merseyside on Friday night, and the club's fans are being asked whether the Blues should end his loan deal early.
The Manchester City loanee was absent from the squad for the trip to Arsenal and both matches against Newcastle United. Official reasons given for those three absences were illness for the Arsenal game, a breach of club discipline for the Carabao Cup tie with Newcastle, and a lack of match fitness for the league meeting with the Magpies.
Moyes Stops Short of Guarantees
Ahead of the Coventry fixture, manager David Moyes confirmed Grealish would not be available but offered no firm timeline for his return.
"No, Jack's not available," Moyes said. "I wouldn't give you the plan but we will be working with Jack again soon."
Asked whether Grealish could be reintroduced after the international break, Moyes added: "We'll see, we just need to wait and see how things go."
Fan Poll on Loan's Future
Given the repeated absences, the question put to supporters is whether Everton should cancel the loan in January and focus on adding other players to the squad. The outcome of the poll will reflect fan opinion on the midfielder's future at the club.
