All we know about Jack Grealish being dropped by Everton:
Unauthorised absence: Jack Grealish was sanctioned and excluded from the Everton first-team squad following an unexcused failure to report for training. The winger did not appear at Finch Farm for a mandatory preparation session without prior clearance from coaching staff.
Managerial stance: Manager David Moyes backed the club's stance when asked to expand on the situation. He simply said: “It was a club decision and I support it.”
Carabao Cup exclusion: The immediate fallout manifested when Grealish was dropped from the squad for the Carabao Cup fourth-round clash against Newcastle United last Thursday. Supporter questions grew after he failed to make the teamsheet before the evening kick-off, with Everton explaining his absence was due to a "breach of club discipline."
Another game missed: The Athletic have reported Grealish is not expected to be involved in Monday night's trip to Newcastle in the Premier League due to a lack of fitness. It remains to be seen if he'll return for their following fixture, at home to Coventry City on Friday.
Boozing claims: According to The Sun, Grealish spent the nights of October 19 and 20 drinking until late in London and Cheshire, respectively. He then missed their game away at Arsenal on October 24 due to illness.
