Grealish and Everton 'in contact' - club chief

Everton are keeping in contact with Jack Grealish after his loan spell last season ended early due to a foot injury, the club’s CEO said. Grealish made 22 appearances for the Toffees, but the issue curtailed his run and removed any realistic chance of making England’s World Cup squad. He is back with Manchester City and appeared as a half-time substitute in Enzo Maresca’s Community Shield defeat to Arsenal on the weekend. Everton’s Angus Kinnear said the club respects that Grealish is still a City player, with the immediate priority being his return to fitness.
