Moyes confirms Grealish will miss the game against Coventry.

Everton manager David Moyes confirmed in his pre-match press conference that England midfielder Jack Grealish will continue to miss the team's Premier League match against Coventry.

The 31-year-old Manchester City loanee had previously missed both the League Cup and Premier League matches against Newcastle United due to a breach of club discipline.

The club has remained vague about the details of Grealish's punishment, previously only stating that he was not yet physically fit for the match. At Thursday's press conference, facing media questioning, Moyes remained cautious and unwilling to discuss the specifics of the disciplinary action.

However, Moyes made it clear that Jack would be absent: "No, Jack will not play in this game. I will not disclose the specific schedule, but we will resume working with Jack soon."

With the international break approaching next week, there is widespread concern about whether Everton can use the off-season to quell this internal turmoil. Moyes' response was particularly intriguing: "We can only wait and see how things unfold."

While the midfield and attack are shrouded in personnel uncertainties, there are positive signs in the defense. Key central defender Jarard Branswain was forced off with cramps late in Monday's away win against Newcastle, but he is expected to be fit for this weekend's league match.

Moyes revealed, "We are currently providing him with thorough care and evaluation to confirm that he is alright. We will have to make a final decision based on his recovery progress."
