Everton have confirmed that Jack Grealish was not made available for selection ahead of their Carabao Cup fourth-round encounter against Newcastle. The decision to omit the player from the cup fixture follows an internal matter regarding team conduct, leaving Everton to prepare for the clash without his participation.
The fourth-round tie against Newcastle represents a major fixture in Everton's Carabao Cup campaign, but the club will contest the match without Grealish involved. Everton confirmed his unavailability directly in relation to the scheduled tournament fixture against their cup opponents.
In their official communication explaining the player's absence from the Newcastle match, Everton stated that Grealish was unavailable "due to a breach of club discipline." The statement firmly clarified the reasoning behind the omission, directly attributing the decision to internal club standards.
With Grealish officially ruled out of the fourth-round Carabao Cup tie, Everton proceed into the contest against Newcastle with their squad adjusted accordingly. The club's disciplinary action leaves the player sidelined as Everton contest the fixture without his services.
