## Summary

Jack Grealish has apologised to Everton supporters and the club after missing three matches because of a disciplinary breach. The midfielder returned on Thursday in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Derby County and said he was eager to play in front of fans again.

The 31-year-old missed Everton’s Premier League and Carabao Cup games against Newcastle, as well as their win over Coventry. He had made six appearances this season before the issue; last season, during his first loan spell from Manchester City, he scored twice in 22 games, with injury cutting the spell short.
