Will Jack Grealish play for Everton against Arsenal? | OneFootball

Jack Grealish suffered a late fitness scare during his most recent appearance for Everton and was close to being ruled out of the upcoming match against Arsenal. The Manchester City loanee has enjoyed an impressive resurgence this season and has been regarded as one of the standout performers in England during his time at Everton.

After losing his place at Manchester City, Everton took a calculated risk by bringing him into their squad. That decision has been rewarded with strong performances, as Grealish has consistently caused problems for opposition defences. If available, he would represent one of Everton’s biggest threats against Arsenal, particularly given his creativity and ability to influence matches in key moments.

Arsenal face a testing challenge

Arsenal approach the fixture knowing they must be at their best to secure a positive result. The Gunners have shown some vulnerability in recent games and are not entering the match full of confidence. Despite that, Mikel Arteta’s side understands the importance of maintaining high standards as they continue to fight at the top of the league standings.

They have worked hard throughout the season to establish themselves among the leading teams, and supporters will be eager to see that level sustained. Everton, however, is not an opponent to be underestimated. They have demonstrated resilience and quality, and with Grealish in the side, they pose an even greater attacking threat.

Everton receives a timely boost

There were concerns over whether Grealish would be fit enough to feature after his recent scare, but Everton appears to have received positive news at a crucial moment. According to Football Insider, the midfielder has returned to full training in time and is expected to start against the league leaders.

This update provides Everton with a significant boost ahead of the match. The timing is particularly important given that the club has already lost at least two key players to the Africa Cup of Nations. Having Grealish available helps to offset those absences and strengthens Everton’s chances of competing effectively.

His presence adds confidence to the Everton camp and increases the difficulty of the task facing Arsenal. With both teams having clear motivations and much at stake, Grealish’s fitness could play a decisive role in shaping the outcome of what promises to be a highly competitive encounter.
