Everton dropped Jack Grealish after unauthorized training absence
What's next: The winger returned to Finch Farm and is expected to be fined after missing training without permission.
Everton left Jack Grealish out of their 3-1 Carabao Cup win over Newcastle after what the club described as a breach of discipline, with British reports saying the issue stemmed from an unauthorized absence from training on Monday. Manager David Moyes backed the move but did not give details after the match at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Grealish, 31, returned to training at Finch Farm later in the week and is expected to face a fine. The England winger is on a season-long loan from Manchester City and had started four straight games for Everton before missing the club's loss at Arsenal because of illness. Everton advanced to a quarterfinal against Fleetwood Town.
