Late nights, alcohol and PSG-Barça: Jack Grealish's new misconduct as he's sidelined at Everton

Grealish excluded from Everton's squad for breaching disciplinary rules after missing training; reports claim he spent nights in pubs before the sanction.

Jack Grealish has been dropped from Everton's squad for their League Cup match against Newcastle on Thursday, with the club citing a breach of disciplinary regulations. Manager David Moyes declined to elaborate on the specifics, saying only that it was a club decision he supported.

According to reports, Grealish missed training on Monday, three days before the Newcastle fixture, which prompted the punishment. The Sun claims that in the days leading up to the sanction, the Manchester City loanee spent two nights out in London and Cheshire pubs. On Monday 19 October, he attended a karaoke pub in London until the early hours with friends. The following evening, after Everton training, he was spotted in an Irish pub in Wilmslow with teammates Jordan Pickford and Tyler Dibling, plus former City colleague Kyle Walker, watching PSG's 4-2 Champions League win over Barcelona in a private room.

This marks another disciplinary issue for Grealish, who was also reported as unwell for Everton's match against Arsenal the previous week. The 39-cap England international has made eight appearances for the Toffees this season without scoring or assisting.
