Moyes faces familiar Jack Grealish challenge after Everton discipline issue

Everton manager David Moyes is managing an internal disciplinary issue with Jack Grealish after omitting the winger from a 3-1 Carabao Cup victory over Newcastle United. Grealish was left out of the matchday squad after missing a training session without permission. Moyes publicly backed the club's decision while emphasizing squad standards, declining to discuss further specific details about the breach.

The situation draws comparisons to Moyes' handling of Wayne Rooney at Manchester United in 2013, when he successfully motivated the forward following disciplinary and focus issues. Grealish, who is currently in his second loan spell at Everton, has since returned to training, but Moyes has not confirmed whether he will feature in Monday's Premier League match.
