2025/26 Jack Grealish

[Toffeepot]

Could be a build up of dropping beer bottles on his foot or hitting crowded Tenerife dancefloors in sliders.

Or a build up of kicks

Shame if we don't seem him in the royal blue again, but at least we're not in a relegation dog-fight.

Hopefully he'll be back before the end of the season, but if it is farewell Jack, then it's been a great little cameo from him. I've really enjoyed having him here.

it won’t be farewell he will be back in march

and he’s signing a deal in summer

To be fair, Keane has been arguably our best defender this season.

We are statistically better without him.

 

[Seathestars]

Does anyone actually know how serious it is, or is everyone just assuming the worst.

Last I read is that the Everton medical team is looking after him, which worries me more than the injury.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

We are statistically better without him.

Yeah, based on a ridiculously small sample size!

 

[Davideeyore]

Months rather than weeks being reported. Oh crumbs

 

[Sharpattack]

Everton. Where careers go to die.

Ornstein has reported months. It’s obviously not good if the club felt the team to release a statement. I’ll be devastated if we don’t see him again.

Would have thought city would knock that on the head and get him back asap, given our medical superhero’s track record.

I was arguing for weeks that we'd played him too much. Stress fractures like this will occur when players have their bodies pushed beyond what's possible. Grealish hadn't played much competitive football and now he's paying the price for the workload pushed on him.

last time we rested players against wolves they beat us
might be their last win too

We don't have the luxury of resting players atm and we don't have europe either so it shouldn't be an issue

Then we'll play players until they get injuries that keep them out for months.

Not a great strategy. It's why we have a squad: rotation. Maybe someone should tell Moyes?

I think he's a bit cream crackered now, tbh.

Obviously he's always going to be chosen but ideally you rest him up for a game or two over Christmas.

Cant see that happening now though.

Maybe if we pray hard enough he will recover quicker

It worked for Rooney at the euros

How is that relevant to a young player with a small hernia op that most footballers shrug off in a month after surgery?

Don’t worry boys, he will be back training on the grass March and be back November.
