David Moyes stopped short of guaranteeing that Jack Grealish's future at Everton will be resolved during the upcoming international break, but what do Blues fans think the club should do?
Grealish will miss his fourth consecutive match for the Blues on Friday night when Coventry City come to Hill Dickinson Stadium, with the loanee from Manchester City previously sitting out the trip to Arsenal and back-to-back matches with Newcastle United.
Officially there were three different reasons given for Grealish's absence from all three of those matchday squads - illness for Arsenal, a breach of club discipline for the Newcastle Carabao Cup game and then a lack of match fitness for the visit to the Magpies in the league.

Speaking ahead of the Coventry game, Moyes said there is a plan in place to welcome Grealish back to the squad, but stopped short of any guarantees.
"No, Jack’s not available," he said. "I wouldn’t give you the plan but we will be working with Jack again soon."
Pressed further on potentially re-introducing Grealish after the international break, Moyes said: "We’ll see, we just need to wait and see how things go."
So how will they go? And given his repeated absences, should Everton look to cancel his loan deal in January and move on with adding much-needed players to the squad?
