Emery said Sancho missed the matchday squad because he was sick, amid background noise linking him to another Borussia Dortmund return when his United contract ends in summer.

Everton are reported to be considering January loan moves for Manchester United’s Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee, but any deal is described as complex and expensive, with United undecided on exits. Moyes has played down expectations of heavy January business. Everton’s interest is framed as opportunistic loans rather than quick fixes, with injuries and AFCON absences squeezing depth. Reports claim Grealish’s loan has improved Everton’s pull for higher-profile targets and could be used as part of the pitch, while the club follows a multi-window strategy.

Moyes said a “bug” left Grealish feeling sick despite training on Tuesday and stressed he would not expand on the illness, while also citing concurrent absences for Dewsbury-Hall, Branthwaite, Ndiaye and Gueye, and expressing hope his City loanee returns to training later this week.

David Moyes joked there was a “billion-pound difference” between Everton and Chelsea after his side’s 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge, a match where the visitors created chances but failed to score and lost Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to a first-half injury on his return.

Everton slumped to a 2-0 defeat at Chelsea, barely troubling Enzo Maresca’s side while suffering fresh fitness concerns as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall limped off early and Jack Grealish reported hamstring discomfort after full time, compounding a sixth league loss of the season. David Moyes said Dewsbury-Hall’s early withdrawal disrupted Everton for around fifteen minutes and admitted frustration at losing more players despite being relatively satisfied with their general play, stressing they must now manage Grealish carefully as medical staff assess both knocks in coming days.

Everton’s Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall branded his one-match suspension “mind boggling” after receiving a fifth yellow card against West Ham. The midfielder’s ban, triggered by cumulative bookings, rules him out versus Crystal Palace. Manager David Moyes slammed the decision as “shabby” while criticising wider refereeing standards.
Dewsbury-Hall, signed for £28m from Chelsea, has been pivotal in Everton’s midfield since August.

Moyes expressed frustration over inconsistent officiating, warning such calls damage fairness and momentum in the Premier League.

Everton fell 2-1 to Liverpool at Anfield, prompting Moyes to slam referee Darren England’s decisions as “very strange.” His fury stemmed from stoppage-time calls and quick free-kick rulings that left Everton players and fans feeling hard done by. Liverpool led through Gravenberch and Ekitike before Gueye pulled one back. Everton pressed late but saw momentum disrupted by contentious refereeing. Grealish, booked for a quick free-kick, echoed Moyes’ frustrations about inconsistency, saying officiating left players powerless at critical moments.

The 31-year-old, signed from Sunderland in 2017, is viewed as central to stability after eight turbulent years at Goodison Park. With David Moyes back at the helm and Everton now playing at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, the club is eager to keep its cult-hero goalkeeper. Talks are ongoing, and Pickford’s loyalty and performances have made him indispensable for the Toffees.
