A semigroup is eventually regular if each of its elements has some power that is regular. Let 𝓚 be one of Green's relations and let ρ be a congruence on an eventually regular semigroup S. It is shown for 𝓚 = 𝓛, 𝓡 and 𝓓 that if A and B are regular elements of S/ρ that are 𝓚-related in S/ρ then there exist elements aA, bB such that a and b are 𝓚-related in S. The result is not true for 𝓗 or 𝓙.
