The Toffees confirmed that the winger sustained a foot injury and will see a specialist. A club statement said: “Everton Football Club can confirm Jack Grealish has sustained a foot injury.

“Jack is currently under the care of the club’s medical team and will also be reviewed by a specialist in the coming days. Further updates will be provided in due course.”

Grealish has been excellent since joining Everton on loan from Manchester City. He has recorded two goals and six assists in 20 Premier League appearances. The England international featured for 90 minutes in last weekend’s 1-0 win over Aston Villa.

However, The Athletic reporter David Ornstein has suggested that Grealish may miss months rather than weeks. Everton will be missing Grealish for the visit of Leeds United on Monday night.

David Moyes’ side have been plagued by injuries to key players. Jarrad Branthwaite has not made a single appearance this term because of a hamstring issue, while Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is currently sidelined with a similar problem.
