Jack Grealish left out of Everton squad again for Premier League trip to Newcastle

Grealish omitted last Thursday for disciplinary reasons

Playmaker left on Merseyside to work on his fitness

Jack Grealish is poised to miss his third successive game for Everton when David Moyes’s side visit Newcastle in the Premier League on Monday night.

Grealish was dropped from Everton’s Carabao Cup win against Matthias Jaissle’s team last Thursday for disciplinary reasons. The 31-year-old had missed training without permission in the buildup to the fourth-round tie. He was also absent from the previous game, a Premier League defeat at Arsenal, owing to illness.

Everton have travelled to the north-east without the playmaker, who rejoined the club on a second lucrative loan deal from Manchester City this summer.

Grealish has been left on Merseyside to work on his fitness at Everton’s Finch Farm training ground. Moyes has yet to confirm when the England international will be considered for inclusion again.
