Coach David Moyes lamented the loss, highlighting that Grealish had been a key player in the squad. With two goals and six assists in 20 Premier League games, the 30-year-old athlete was experiencing his best technical moment since leaving City. His experience and personality were seen as differentiators in the club's recovery in the standings.

The injury interrupts Grealish's dream of returning to the England National Team. After a low period, his standout performances had attracted the attention of coach Thomas Tuchel, who maintained frequent conversations with the player. With the World Cup starting on June 11, the recovery timeline makes the call-up for the United States, Canada, and Mexico unlikely.

When asked about the star's future, Moyes stated it is too early to discuss a permanent transfer with Manchester City. Everton's immediate focus is on the surgery and supporting the athlete, while England watches with concern the loss of one of its most creative players on the eve of the world's biggest tournament.
