Grealish dropped by Everton after ‘breach of club discipline’
Everton left Jack Grealish out of their 3-1 Carabao Cup win over Newcastle after what manager David Moyes called a breach of club discipline. The club has not given details, but the absence is understood to have followed an unauthorised missed training session; the decision raises questions about Grealish’s place in the squad.
The 31-year-old is on loan from Manchester City and has made six appearances for Everton this season: five in the Premier League and one in the cup. He missed Saturday’s defeat by Arsenal through illness, returned to training after the reported unauthorised absence and is expected to be fined. Everton will face League Two side Fleetwood Town in the quarter-finals.
In short
- Everton dropped Grealish for a disciplinary breach.
- The reported issue was an unauthorised absence from training.
- Everton face Fleetwood in the cup quarter-finals.
Explained simply
Jack Grealish is an England international who plays as a forward or attacking midfielder. He is at Everton on loan from Manchester City, meaning City still hold his contract while he plays for Everton for an agreed period.
Everton are a football club based in Liverpool and compete in the Premier League, England’s top division. David Moyes is their manager, responsible for choosing the team and setting standards for the squad. Club discipline can affect how players are selected and how a team works together.
