Everton star Jack Grealish and manager David Moyes
The 39-cap England international has missed the last three matches after an unauthorised absence from training.
Grealish was suspended by the club for the 3-1 Carabao Cup win over Newcastle, then missed Premier League games against the same opposition and Coventry.
David Moyes was coy when asked about a potential return date for the 31-year-old winger.
He has not played since the 2-0 loss to Chelsea on 17 October, having missed the Arsenal game with an illness.
A new update has been shared on what is happening with the Manchester City loanee in his bid to return.
What is the latest on Jack Grealish return?
Grealish looks set for a return to action shortly, hopefully putting the controversy in the past.
A report from the Liverpool Echo on Monday claims that Grealish has now returned to Finch Farm.
It states that he has been put on a tailored training programme as he looks to get back into shape.
That will be music to Moyes' ears as he looks for his star man to return to action.
He should be back for the trip to Brentford on 23 November.
Why Everton need Grealish back quickly
The Blues need Grealish to return as soon as possible.
While he has not managed a goal or assist so far this season, he is still having an impact.
Grealish has averaged 2.64 chances created per game, with an expected assists tally of 0.24, which is in the 84th percentile among his position, according to FotMob.
He is a constant threat, with 5.28 touches in the opposition box, and 2.35 fouls won per 90 minutes.
The goal contributions will come, and he is also a key asset for the Toffees due to his work rate when his side do not have the ball.
Grealish makes 4.69 recoveries per game, which is in the 77th percentile for his position.
Tyler Dibling has impressed on the right, with Tyrique George on the left while Grealish was out, but neither offer what the veteran can.
Hopefully, both parties can put this sorry saga behind them, and Grealish can help the L3 outfit achieve their ambitions and qualify for European football at the end of the season.
