Was a night out worth the ban? The England winger was omitted from Everton’s squad for Thursday’s League Cup clash with Newcastle after missing Monday’s training session.
Choosing drinks over drills, Grealish’s party‑hard image is well‑known. Yet the City loanee still fuels the narrative. This week he missed the Cup tie – a 3-1 win for the Toffees – after the club cited a breach of discipline. Coach David Moyes said, “I won’t give details, it’s a club decision and I support it. I won’t elaborate further.”
In my view, his behavior undermines team standards. The Daily Mail notes he was also listed as “ill” a week earlier against Arsenal, and The Sun says his professionalism was lacking just days before.
Will his next outing see him back on the pitch?
On Monday, October 19, Grealish attended a ceremony before heading to a London karaoke bar with friends, staying until the early hours. Sources say they drank several rounds, sang a few songs and left very late. He returned home early Tuesday morning, only to repeat the outing that evening after Everton’s training.
Later, he was spotted at an Irish pub in Wilmslow with teammates Jordan Pickford, Tyler Dibling and former City star Kyle Walker. A witness claims they watched the Champions League PSG‑Barça (4‑2) in a private room. Even with a rest day on Wednesday, the sighting may explain why Grealish was later listed as “ill” for the Saturday Arsenal game. The England international, with 39 caps, has played eight matches for the Toffees this season without scoring or assisting.
