Jack Grealish of Everton during the Premier League match Everton vs Ipswich Town at Hill Dickinson Stadium, Liverpool, United Kingdom on 19 September 2026 / Everton Manager David Moyes during the Newcastle United v Everton Premier League match at St. James Park, Newcastle Upon Tyne, England on 28 February 2026
David Moyes will give Jack Grealish the chance to work his way back into Everton's starting eleven if he works hard in training, sources have told Football Insider.
Grealish has missed numerous Everton games in the last few weeks after a breach of club discipline.
He is believed to have been absent from training after their recent defeat to Chelsea, with Moyes choosing to banish him from the squad as a result.
The 31-year-old is set to return to the Toffees' fold this week and should be available for selection after the international break.
As I revealed on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Transfer Insider podcast, Grealish's route back into the side will not be simple and he must knuckle down in the coming months to show the management that he is committed to Everton.
He is out of contract at parent club Man City next summer and so needs to show potential suitors that his off-field antics will not be an issue going forward.
Jack Grealish can earn Everton return by focusing in training
Moyes' side have hardly missed Grealish, on a run of three straight wins, while he has struggled to impact games like he did last season since returning in the summer.
The winger now has to take the second chance handed to him by Moyes, with an improvement in his attitude and effort in training imperative to winning favour back at Finch Farm.
Speaking on the Transfer Insider podcast, I explained: "All hope is not lost for Jack Grealish. The ball is in Grealish’s court now, he has to get his head down, knuckle down and work hard to try and get back into David Moyes’ plans.
"It’s a big few months now for him to try and win favour back with Moyes and those Everton fans as well. He’s not done himself any favours, let’s put it that way."
Everton eyeing Giorgi Kvernadze swoop to rival Grealish
Moyes is keen on adding to his attacking options in January after feeling like he was left short in several areas in the summer.
Sources have exclusively revealed to Football Insider that Everton admire Frosinone left winger Kvernadze and The Friedkin Group will consider looking to sign him midway through the campaign.
The 23-year-old Georgian has three goals and four assists in 10 Serie A appearances this season, and would provide competition to Grealish in the Toffees' squad if he was to arrive on Merseyside.
