Jack Grealish in action for Everton away at Hull City
Jack Grealish in action for Everton away at Hull City
The Manchester City loanee has missed Everton's past three matches, two of those - both against Newcastle United - after it was announced he had breached club protocol.
Moyes has also confirmed Grealish will not be selected againstCoventry City on Friday night as his absence continues.
Grealish is reported to have missed at least one Everton training session last week without a valid reason.
There has been little activity from the England international - again left out of Thomas Tuchel's latest squad on Friday - over the past fortnight.
But he has now reacted to a retirement message from one of his former teammates - and an ex-Everton player - via Instagram.
Former Everton player calls time on career
Given the huge turnover of new players pretty much year on year, Everton fans can be forgiven for not remembering the careers of every player.
One such player is Conor Coady, who arrived on loan from Wolves for the 2022-23 campaign.
Coady played 25 times that season in all competitions, before returning to Molineux after Everton opted against taking up the option to sign him permanently.
The centre-back was a vocal figure behind the scenes, but his most memorable moment was arguably his goal in the goalless draw with Liverpool that season, which was ruled out.
At the age of just 33, Coady announced his retirement from football on Friday with an emotional video via social media.
The video was captioned: "Lived the dream. Eternally grateful. Thank you."
Grealish was quick to respond to the message, replying with: "Nearly got me going," alongside a crying face emoji.
"Unbelievable career and what a human! Enjoy retirement brother."
Grealish and Coady crossed paths with England, with the latter earning 10 caps in total.
What's the latest on Jack Grealish's Everton situation?
Grealish will miss a fourth successive Everton game on Friday. Beyond that, nobody knows.
Moyes hinted he is close to welcoming Grealish back, but there is now a two-week international break.
That means it will be around five weeks between Everton appearances for Grealish.
Judging by what has been reported, he will know he has done wrong.
It is now down to Grealish, and Grealish alone, to show he can still perform at the highest level.
