Overview
- Club sources and reporting say Grealish was dropped from multiple matchday squads after a reported unauthorised absence from a scheduled training session.
- Manager David Moyes has confirmed the player is due back in first‑team training during the international break and the club has privately reminded him of his responsibilities.
- Everton currently have no immediate plan to terminate the Manchester City loan but several outlets say a January return to City or the collapse of a permanent move remain possible if trust is not rebuilt.
- Grealish has made six appearances this season without a goal or assist and Everton have shown they can win matches without him, raising questions about his role in Moyes’s squad.
- With his Manchester City contract expiring next June, the disciplinary row and limited form leave his longer‑term future uncertain and put pressure on him to show professionalism and commitment at Finch Farm.
