PSR position means City don't need big GREAL deal

AFTER missing out on an England recall, Jack Grealish can put his feet up for a couple of weeks now, with Everton facing his parent club Manchester City after the international break.

The 30-year-old is probably disappointed to see his momentum stall after scoring his first goal for Everton in the final minutes of their win against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

There was a slice of fortune to Grealish’s first competitive goal since April, but it continued his encouraging start to life on Merseyside. He has quickly become a fan favourite at the Hill Dickinson Stadium and a key part of Everton’s attack.

The Toffees will miss him at the Etihad on Saturday week, but that is the condition that comes with a loan from a Premier League rival. UEFA will allow Claudio Echeverri to potentially face his parent club for Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League, but domestically, it doesn’t happen.
