🎙️|David Moyes: "Jarrad and Merlin are back on the grass and doing some work. ..."Merlin is obviously much further on than Jarrad but they're both back on the grass and hopefully we're starting to see a chance to get them back soon. It would be a big help." (Source: Everton)

Update Tuesday 23 December 2025

🎙️|David Moyes "Look, he's not due to integrate back in for at least another two to three weeks, maybe more, so it's not as if I'm getting him back quickly.... "I'm just saying it's beginning to look better than it was. We're getting closer to a point of that...."I think my bigger worry is he's missed so much of the season to get back into the swing of it quickly and those things you need. But we need him back, even just to have him back in the squad would be great at the moment for the numbers. There is a plan for him and how he works – he's on that at the moment." (Source: Everton)
