What changed
Everton left Jack Grealish out of its Carabao Cup tie with Newcastle United on 29 October 2026 because of a breach of club discipline.
Grealish, 31, is on loan from Manchester City and has made five Premier League appearances plus one Carabao Cup appearance for Everton this season. The club gave no further details.
Why it matters
This turns a routine team-sheet omission into a club-management issue. Grealish is not simply being rested or rotated: Everton has confirmed that discipline, rather than footballing selection alone, kept him out.
The nature of the breach remains unclear. Reports that he missed training are not confirmed, so the immediate question is whether he returns promptly to Everton’s squad or faces a longer absence. For Manchester City, which signed him for £100m in 2021, the incident also adds scrutiny to how his loan spell is unfolding.
