Jack Grealish misses second Everton game after disciplinary omission against Newcastle

Everton left Jack Grealish out of their squad for the October 29 Carabao Cup match against Newcastle United because of a "breach of club discipline", the BBC reported. The club did not disclose further details.

The omission was a disciplinary decision rather than a routine change to the team. GOAL.com reported that Everton manager David Moyes excluded the Manchester City loanee before his side won 3-1.

On October 29, Everton progressed without Grealish. Their victory over Newcastle secured a quarter-final trip to Fleetwood Town, according to Guardian Sport.

On October 30, L'Équipe reported that Grealish had allegedly missed a training session without a reason. GB News also linked the disciplinary action to missed training and reported that he faced a fine. The supplied coverage does not establish that a fine was imposed.

Further reports focused on his activities before the omission. On November 1, Fanpage reported that Grealish had allegedly spent two consecutive nights drinking with two teammates. Infobae also reported the two nights out on November 2. These accounts added detail beyond the club's publicly stated disciplinary explanation.

Grealish was absent again for the Premier League match at Newcastle on November 2. This time, ESPN FC attributed his omission to a fitness issue, rather than describing it as another disciplinary punishment.

Everton won that match 1-0 at St James' Park through Thierno Barry, moving seventh in the Premier League, L'Équipe reported. It was their second victory over Newcastle in five days.

Grealish has missed two successive Everton matches, but the stated explanations differ: a disciplinary breach for the cup tie and a fitness issue for the league game. The reporting does not establish that his second absence extended the original punishment.

After the league victory, Moyes remained guarded about Grealish's availability. The BBC presented his post-match response under the words "He's unavailable". The supplied coverage gives no confirmed return date.

The next question is when Grealish will be available for selection again. Any further explanation from Everton would also help clarify the fitness issue reported by ESPN FC and whether any disciplinary measures remain outstanding.
