Jack Grealish’s season is in serious doubt after the Everton loanee suffered a fractured foot that could yet require surgery.
The injury is a major setback for the England midfielder at a key point in the campaign, with his hopes of forcing his way into Thomas Tuchel’s plans now under threat.
It has been revealed that Grealish is facing a long spell out, and the option of an operation remains on the table as doctors assess the full extent of the damage.
With months potentially needed for recovery, the 28-year-old could find his season effectively over, leaving him battling both time and fitness to keep his World Cup dream alive.
Grealish’s situation will be monitored closely in the coming days as Everton weigh up the best course of treatment, but the fractured foot has already cast a shadow over the rest of his campaign.
