Manager David Moyes confirmed Jack Grealish is unavailable for Friday's Premier League match against Coventry at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Jack Grealish will miss Everton’s Premier League fixture against Coventry on Friday following a breach of club discipline. Manager David Moyes confirmed the 31-year-old midfielder’s absence during a Thursday press conference, marking the third consecutive game the Manchester City loanee has missed. The England international previously sat out a Carabao Cup tie and a league victory against Newcastle at St James' Park, where the club cited he was "not match-fit" prior to Monday's kickoff.

While Moyes declined to provide a specific timeline for the player's return, he stated that the team expects to be working with Grealish again soon. The upcoming international break may offer a window to resolve the internal issue, though Moyes noted the club will wait to see how the situation develops.

Defensively, Everton is monitoring Jarrad Branthwaite ahead of the clash at Hill Dickinson Stadium. The defender was substituted late during Monday's match due to cramp, and coaching staff are currently checking his fitness to determine if he can feature against the Sky Blues.
