Grealish Poised to Start as Moyes Flags Everton's Small Squad

Overview

• Jack Grealish is in line to make his first start since January against Tottenham on Saturday, Moyes said after assessing the winger’s training this week.
• Summer signing Christian Norgaard remains unavailable and is expected to return to contention only after the upcoming international break, Moyes confirmed.
• Everton are operating with about 18 outfield players available and Moyes said he would prefer roughly 21, a shortfall that limits rotation across the squad.
• The club is scanning the free-agent market but Moyes warned that available signings are unlikely to make a large Premier League impact, so immediate upgrades are unlikely.
• James Garner’s recent return has increased midfield options alongside Hayden Hackney and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, but Moyes warned that fixture congestion and international minutes raise injury and fatigue risks.
