Footballer Jack Grealish has been dropped by Premier League side Everton for breaching club discipline.

Jack Grealish has been dropped by Premier League side Everton for a breach of club discipline. According to the Press Association, the breach relates to an unauthorised absence from training. The 31-year-old was left out of the squad for the Toffees' Thursday night Carabao Cup fourth-round tie against Newcastle. He also missed Saturday's 2-0 loss to Arsenal, though that was attributed to illness.

Grealish is on a second consecutive season-long loan from Manchester City. He had started Everton's previous three Premier League matches against Ipswich, Hull and Chelsea, and has made six appearances for the club this season. Last season he provided six assists and two goals in 20 appearances before suffering a season-ending foot injury in January. He remained with Everton during his rehabilitation and returned on loan on 1 September.

The England international was spotted in the Cotswolds recently, visiting pan-Asian eatery You, Me & Umami in Lechlade to pick up a takeaway. The restaurant's owner Foyez Rahman said it was 'a real surprise' to welcome Grealish.
