Everton winger Jack Grealish was omitted from the matchday squad for the Carabao Cup fixture against Newcastle United following a breach of internal club discipline. The Merseyside outfit confirmed his absence ahead of the knockout clash, though officials opted not to disclose specific details surrounding the incident.
Reports indicate the disciplinary action stemmed from a missed training session by the 31-year-old loanee. Grealish is currently spending the campaign at Goodison Park on a temporary deal from Premier League champions Manchester City, having previously represented the Toffees during a prior loan spell interrupted by a foot injury.
- Key Match and Player Details:
- Jack Grealish missed Everton’s Carabao Cup tie against Newcastle United on Thursday.
- The club confirmed the omission was due to a breach of internal discipline.
- The winger is on loan at Everton from Premier League rivals Manchester City.
- Grealish has made six total appearances for the Toffees this season across all competitions.
Loan Spell and Recent Form
Grealish returned to Everton before the closure of the summer transfer window after making limited appearances for Manchester City at the start of the campaign. The former Aston Villa player featured as a substitute in the Community Shield against Arsenal and during a league win over Bournemouth before securing his move back to Merseyside.
During his previous stint with Everton, the England international contributed two goals and six assists across 20 appearances before suffering a season-ending foot injury in January. His current loan aims to secure regular playing time following his record-breaking transfer to Manchester City in 2021.
What Happens Next
Everton manager and club officials will assess Grealish’s status moving forward following internal discussions regarding the disciplinary breach. The winger faces a battle to regain his place in the starting lineup as the Toffees prepare for their upcoming fixture schedule in the domestic campaign.
