Jack Grealish issues apology as he makes comeback from ban in behind-closed-doors game

Grealish returned from a four-game ban for a breach of club discipline in a behind-closed-doors win over Derby County, apologising to Everton fans.

Jack Grealish made his comeback in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Derby County, which Everton won 4-1, after missing the club's last four fixtures due to a breach of club discipline. Manager David Moyes backed the disciplinary decision.

The 31-year-old forward issued an apology on social media, saying he was sorry to fans and the club for being unable to help the team in recent weeks and expressing his eagerness to return to competitive action. Grealish has yet to score or assist in eight competitive appearances for Everton this season.
