Everton vs Coventry injury news: Grealish out as Branthwaite faces check

← Back to Match CentreEverton v Coventry

Jack Grealish will not be available for Everton against Coventry, while Jarrad Branthwaite remains a fitness decision for David Moyes.

Everton vs Coventry takes place at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Friday 6 November 2026, with kick-off at 8pm GMT.

Grealish unavailable; Branthwaite being assessed

Moyes confirmed Grealish’s absence in Thursday’s team-news briefing. He did not announce a return date. Branthwaite came off with cramp against Newcastle on Monday and is being managed ahead of Friday’s match.

Those are different situations: Grealish has been ruled out, while Moyes remains hopeful about Branthwaite. The defender should not be presented as a confirmed absentee or a guaranteed starter.

Coventry injury list

• Aurele Amenda: calf injury, unavailable.
• Haji Wright: thigh injury, unavailable.
• Josh Eccles and Luke Woolfenden: expected to remain sidelined.
• Bobby Thomas and Frank Onyeka: late fitness checks.

The visitors’ absences and doubts are also listed in Sports Mole’s team-news round-up. Thomas’s availability could affect the defence, while Onyeka offers another option in central midfield.
