Manchester City loanee Jack Grealish<\/a> has confirmed that he will be out for the remainder of the season due to a stress fracture requiring surgery. The 30-year-old quickly endeared himself to Everton fans after joining on loan during the summer transfer window, but his campaign on Merseyside has been cut short.<\/p>\n Grealish took to Instagram to share a photo<\/a> of himself in hospital, accompanied by a caption: “Didn’t want the season to end like this but that’s football<\/a>, gutted. Surgery done and now all focus on getting back fit. I know for sure I will come back fitter, stronger and better than before.<\/p>\n “The support I’ve had since coming to this unbelievable club has meant the world to me. The staff, my teammates and especially the fans have been incredible and I absolutely love representing this club.<\/p>\n “I’ll be backing the lads all the way and doing everything I can to get back as soon as possible. Thank you again for all the love, it means so much. UTFT”.<\/p>\n Among those responding in the comments were current and former team-mates. City<\/a> striker Erling Haaland<\/a> posted two blue hearts and a praying emoji.<\/p>\n Content cannot be displayed without consent<\/p>\n Everton team-mate Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, another summer signing, replied with a blue heart and a message reading: “back soon. ” England colleague James Maddison, who is also recovering from an injury, responded with three white heart emojis.<\/p>\n The injury leaves the player’s future hanging in the balance. Everton hold a \u00a350million option<\/a> to purchase the midfielder from City this summer, though whether they’ll exercise it remains unclear, particularly given the uncertainty surrounding his recovery.<\/p>\n Jack Grealish has impressed on loan at Everton this season.

He is a massive influence in the Everton games,<\/p>\n “After what’s happened, maybe Manchester City<\/a> want him back, but I don’t know. Many things are still going to happen.<\/p>\n “We’ll see. The important thing is he is playing again, a lot of minutes.<\/p>\n “This is the standard. I’m happy, really, honestly, that he’s back in, trying his best.”.<\/p>\n Beyond hampering his Premier League<\/a> prospects and transfer situation, the surgery will almost certainly rule him out of England’s squad for this summer’s World Cup, even should he recuperate in time.<\/p>\n His performances at Everton had sparked speculation about a potential England recall. His last appearance for the Three Lions came in October 2024 under caretaker manager Lee Carsley.<\/p>\n Buy Carabao Cup Final VIP tickets<\/p>\n This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
