Grealish dropped by Everton after breaching club discipline

Everton dropped midfielder Jack Grealish for their Carabao Cup fourth-round tie against Newcastle United due to a breach of club discipline. According to Sky Sports News reporter Keith Downie, the 31-year-old, who is currently on loan from Manchester City, failed to report for a training session ahead of the match. Everton manager David Moyes confirmed after the game that omitting Grealish was a club decision that he fully supported.

Despite the midfielder's absence, Everton secured a 3-1 victory over Newcastle at Hill Dickinson Stadium with goals from James Garner, Hayden Hackney, and Thierno Barry. Moyes declined to confirm whether Grealish would return for the upcoming Premier League match against Newcastle at St James' Park.
