Moyes says Grealish remains unavailable for Everton

Jack Grealish will miss Everton’s home match with Coventry. David Moyes declined to give a timetable but said the club would work with the winger again soon.

Jack Grealish remains unavailable for Everton’s Premier League match against Coventry City, David Moyes confirmed ahead of Friday’s fixture. The manager did not give a return date or a detailed explanation for the winger’s absence.

Moyes offers no timetable

Asked about Grealish’s availability, Moyes gave a direct answer: he is not available. The Everton manager said the club would be working with the player again soon, while declining to outline the plan or say whether he could return around the international break.

The limited update is important because Grealish has missed several recent fixtures. Moyes’ comments establish that he will not feature against Coventry; they do not confirm an injury or a specific disciplinary outcome. Everton have not announced a target date for his return.

Branthwaite is being monitored

Moyes also discussed Jarrad Branthwaite, who came off with cramp during Everton’s win at Newcastle. He said the defender was being “nursed along” while the staff checked how he felt. That left his availability uncertain rather than ruled out.

Everton host Coventry

Everton welcome Coventry to Hill Dickinson Stadium on Friday evening. The Toffees arrive after two wins over Newcastle in different competitions, while the visitors are managed by former Everton boss Frank Lampard.

Grealish’s absence narrows Moyes’ options on the flank, but the manager’s message was focused on the immediate selection decision. He will not play this match; what follows depends on the club’s work with him in the coming days.
