Manchester City loanee Jack Grealish has been dropped by Everton for a breach of club discipline relating to unauthorised absence from training.

Jack Grealish has been dropped by Everton for a breach of club discipline relating to an unauthorised absence from training. The England international was excluded from the squad for Everton's Carabao Cup fourth-round tie against Newcastle on Thursday night.

Grealish, on loan from Manchester City, had started Everton's previous three Premier League matches against Ipswich, Hull and Chelsea, and made six appearances for the Toffees this season. The 31-year-old also missed Saturday's 2-0 loss to Arsenal, which was attributed to illness. On loan for a second consecutive season, Grealish has made two goals and six assists in 20 appearances for Everton, before suffering a season-ending foot injury in January last season.

The disciplinary action came after Grealish was spotted in the Cotswolds, where he visited pan-Asian restaurant You, Me & Umami in Lechlade to pick up a takeaway and posed for a photograph with staff. Owner Foyez Rahman said it was 'a real surprise to welcome Jack' to the restaurant.
