David Moyes has confirmed that Jack Grealish is unavailable for Everton's Premier League trip to Coventry on Friday after the player was sidelined for a reported "breach of discipline".
The manager made the announcement ahead of the fixture, saying Grealish "remains unavailable" for selection. Moyes attributed the absence to a disciplinary matter within the squad rather than injury or fitness concerns.
Grealish's omission will force Everton to alter their matchday plans and personnel for the Coventry game. The club will now turn to other options in Moyes's squad as they prepare for the league fixture.
The decision comes as the team finalises preparations for Friday's match, with Moyes responsible for managing both on-field tactics and off-field squad conduct. Further details about the nature of the breach were not provided at the time of the manager's confirmation.
