Jack Grealish statement about Everton return made as fresh transfer verdict delivered

Former Everton defender Alan Stubbs believes Jack Grealish will benefit significantly from the recent international break as he works toward full match sharpness. Grealish rejoined Everton on a season-long loan from Manchester City on transfer deadline day last month after an earlier loan spell was cut short by a foot injury in January.

Speaking via Goal, Stubbs noted that the 31-year-old looked slightly rusty after missing preseason minutes with Manchester City. Stubbs also praised Everton's patience in waiting until the end of the window to save on wages, while manager David Moyes expressed excitement about what Grealish can provide.
