Everton have been dealt a significant setback after it was confirmed that Jack Grealish has suffered a stress fracture in his foot and will be sidelined for the next three months. The development was revealed following medical tests conducted today, sending shockwaves through the club and its supporters.
Grealish, who has been an influential figure for the Toffees since his arrival, is expected to be unavailable until at least April, provided his recovery goes according to plan. The injury comes at a crucial stage of the season, with Everton battling for consistency and points in a tightly contested Premier League campaign.
According to reports, the England international had been managing discomfort in his foot before undergoing further examinations, which confirmed the stress fracture. Medical staff have advised a lengthy period of rest and rehabilitation to avoid complications and ensure a full recovery.
