Jack Grealish Dropped From Everton Squad Following Training Absence
· Sports · BBC Sport
Everton dropped forward Jack Grealish from their squad for a Carabao Cup match against Newcastle United following a breach of club discipline. The 31-year-old failed to show up for training on Monday, prompting Everton management to make the disciplinary action public prior to kickoff. Grealish rejoined Everton on loan from Manchester City during the summer transfer window in the final year of his City contract. He previously became Britain's first £100m footballer when he moved to Manchester City from Aston Villa in 2021 before falling out of favour. Everton manager David Moyes, currently operating with just 18 senior players, held talks with Grealish following the incident.
Why it matters
The disciplinary breach puts Grealish's career in the Premier League top flight at risk during his crucial loan spell. It also creates immediate tactical pressure for David Moyes, who is already dealing with a severely depleted 18-man squad.
