'He needs arrogance!' - Man Utd striker Benjamin Sesko urged to match Zlatan Ibrahimovic's 'aura' to silence critics at Old Trafford

Jack Grealish - Could miss months Grealish (foot) is at risk of being sidelined for multiple months while he's expected to see a specialist in upcoming days, David Ornstein of The Athletic reports.

Impact Grealish may be out for a prolonged spell, although the full extent of the issue is not yet clear. This news comes after the attacker played 90 minutes in three consecutive EPL games, providing two assists over that period. If the severity of the injury is confirmed, Dwight McNeil and Tyler Dibling will see increased opportunities on the wings.

Jack Grealish - Suffers foot injury Grealish is out for the time being due to a foot injury and is set for further assessment, according to his club.

Impact Grealish is hitting the sidelines after the club announced he suffered an injury, a surprise hit to the club after playing 90 minutes Sunday. He is now set for further assessment and is likely to miss time moving forward, with his exact absence to be decided after testing. This is a major inconvenience for the club as they lose their best man in the attack, with Dwight McNeil as a possible replacement.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - Resuming partial training Dewsbury-Hall (hamstring) has taken part in light work during recent training sessions, El Bobble reports.

Impact Dewsbury-Hall is still expected to miss a couple of games, though he could be healthy enough to play in February. His return at some point of the season would represent a boost to Everton's creative power, and he could be in contention for starts with Dwight McNeil and Harrison Armstrong while challenging James Garner for set pieces.

Jarrad Branthwaite - Back in full training Branthwaite (hamstring) has returned to full training sessions ahead of the next match against Leeds, according to El Bobble.

Impact Branthwaite has been sidelined from first-team action since May, but his comeback could be closer in the second half of the campaign. The defender previously served as a regular starter over the 2024/25 season, when he averaged 6.3 clearances per game and tallied nine clean sheets in 28 Premier League starts. While he might not be ready for significant playing time yet, he'll eventually challenge Michael Keane and James Tarkowski at center-back.

Jake O'Brien - Eight clearances in win O'Brien registered one tackle (one won), eight clearances and one interception in Sunday's 1-0 win over Aston Villa.

Impact O'Brien had a decent defensive outing against Aston Villa on Sunday, handling heavy second half defending as the Villains increased the tempo. He was directly involved in several key sequences, as he stayed disciplined in the box when Villa targeted the far post, highlighted by a total of eight clearances during his shift. O'Brien also recorded a season high two blocks and added one tackle and one interception to help Everton secure their ninth clean sheet of the season.

Jack Grealish - Three shots in victory Grealish registered three shots (zero on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 win over Aston Villa.

Impact Grealish was Everton's most consistent ball carrier, drawing a season-high six fouls and winning free kicks in both halves as he drove into traffic. He had a first half effort blocked and ended the game with three shots, none of which were on target. While he couldn't register a goal contribution, his presence in the frontline of the Toffees was key in controlling the important areas of the game to secure all three points against Aston Villa.

Thierno Barry - Scores winner against Villa Barry scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus Aston Villa.

Impact Barry scored the only goal in the 59th minute, following up after Dwight McNeil's shot was parried by Emiliano Martinez and chipping the rebound into the net from close range. He continued to threaten the line, being caught offside twice as Everton looked for a second goal. The striker has now scored three goals in his last four Premier League starts, highlighting how well adapted he is within the Toffees' squad after a difficult first half of the season following his arrival.

Jordan Pickford - Keeps clean sheet in win Pickford made five saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 1-0 win against Aston Villa.

Impact Pickford helped set Everton's tone immediately by launching the long ball that led to Merlin Rohl hitting the post in the first minute. He then produced five key saves to keep Villa out of the game. Pickford has now made 17 saves across his last four Premier League appearances, highlighting his strong form for the Toffees. The shutout against the Villains on Sunday was his ninth in 22 Premier League games this season, leaving him three shutouts away from matching his total from last season. Pickford will look to add to that tally against Leeds United on Monday.

Impact Iroegbanum is still struggling with an injury that was initially deemed a minor one, but it appears to be more serious after he had to miss training this week. This is something for the club to watch moving forward, as they are already without three other midfielders, seeing a bit of a crisis in the midfield. There is a chance he could get back into training next week and be ready for play, although little has been given on his status.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - Out another game Dewbury-Hall (hamstring) has yet to train and is not an option for the club yet, according to manager David Moyes. "They're getting closer, but they're not training yet."

Impact Dewsbury-Hall is going to have to miss a seventh straight game Sunday, with the midfielder still struggling to return from a hamstring injury he picked up to start December. With the midfielder yet to train but nearing a return, he is likely to get back on the pitch in the next week or two, hoping to be an option by February.

Seamus Coleman - Steps up recovery Coleman (hamstring) is stepping up his recovery, the club announced.

Impact Coleman missed all the games since late November due to a hamstring injury but is nearing a return in the squad since he is stepping up his recovery. The defender was spotted training his one on one in a session on Thursday. That said, the return of Coleman won't impact the starting XI of the Toffees since he has mainly been a bench option this season.

Jarrad Branthwaite - Returns to light training Branthwaite returned to light training Tuesday in his recovery from a long-term hamstring injury.

Impact Branthwaite is edging closer to a return to full training, something that'll likely happen in the next week. However, given the setbacks and troubles of getting back to full health over the last few months, it's likely he'll be brought along slowly and need a full week of full training before he can be considered. Once available, he'll likely push Michael Keane for starts and minutes in the XI.
