Jack Grealish says he "didn't want the season to end like this" after confirming he has had surgery on a foot stress fracture. The 30-year-old midfielder had made 22 appearances in all competitions for Everton this season, scoring twice and providing six assists. "Didn't want the season to end like this but that's football, gutted," he wrote in a post on Instagram. The injury ends any hopes of Grealish making England's World Cup squad this summer. However, he fell out of favour last season, making only seven league starts for City before being left out of the squad for the Club World Cup in the United States.
