Everton have confirmed that Jack Grealish is not match fit and therefore not part of tonight’s squad for the game against Newcastle United. The ECHO reported on Monday afternoon that the England international was not among Everton’s travelling party for the game in the North East.
Grealish missed last Thursday’s win over the Magpies due to a breach of club discipline after being absent from the defeat to Arsenal a few days as a result of illness. It is understood that the alleged breach of discipline centred around Grealish missing a training session and Blues boss David Moyes backed the club’s decision.
The 31-year-old, who is on a second consecutive season-long loan from Man City, had started the Blues' previous three Premier League matches against Ipswich Town, Hull City and Chelsea, and has made a total of six appearances for the club so far this season.

Speaking before the clash at St James' Park, Moyes said on the absence: "Nothing more than what I'm sure you've already heard so he's not in the team tonight."
The Blues boss had elaborated a little more on Grealish's absence following his side’s Carabao Cup win on Thursday.

“You probably know I am not going to give any details and it is a club decision,” he said. “I support the decision but it is a club decision.
"It is something I don’t want to speak too much about. I feel the club are the people you should go to if you are looking for more on it.”
Before the Scot added: “The one thing about Everton is that they have got real good values behind it. All the players stand up to the values, accept the values that Everton put out there and what we want from them on the pitch and off the pitch.
“From that point of view, I think the players did a brilliant job. It is a smallish squad we have got, we are limited in some areas but we are doing our best to keep challenging.”
