Everton’s Jack Grealish out for the season after foot surgery
Everton midfielder Jack Grealish has confirmed that his season is over after undergoing surgery for a stress fracture in his foot, delivering a major blow to his hopes of making England’s World Cup squad.
The 30-year-old, on loan from Manchester City, sustained the injury during Everton’s 1-0 Premier League victory over Aston Villa last month.
Grealish featured 22 times in all competitions for Everton this season, scoring twice and providing six assists, with his strong form sparking speculation about a potential recall to the national team.
“Didn’t want the season to end like this but that’s football, gutted,” he wrote on social media. “Surgery done and now all focus on getting back fit. I know for sure I will come back fitter, stronger and better than before.”
A three-time Premier League winner who also lifted the Champions League and FA Cup with Manchester City, Grealish last appeared for England in October 2024 under caretaker manager Lee Carsley.
The World Cup is set to take place from June 11 to July 19 across Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
