Everton exclude Grealish from Newcastle tie after unauthorised training absence
Everton have left Jack Grealish out of their squad for tonight’s Carabao Cup tie against Newcastle, citing a breach of club discipline. The club publicly gave that reason after naming the team, an unusual step that makes the disciplinary action clear.
Grealish is understood to have missed Monday training without permission, returned to Finch Farm afterwards and is expected to be fined. The 31-year-old had also missed Saturday’s defeat to Arsenal through illness. He is on a season-long loan from Manchester City, with Everton paying a similar sum to the £12m they paid for his previous loan; his City contract expires at the end of the season.
In short
- Everton omit Grealish from the Newcastle cup squad for disciplinary reasons.
- He is understood to have missed training without permission.
- A fine is expected after his return to training.
