BBC Sport football reporter at Hill Dickinson Stadium
Jack Grealish was left out of Everton's Carabao Cup tie with Newcastle United on Thursday "due to a breach of club discipline".
Everton did not disclose any further details but it is believed it was for missing a training session.
England winger Grealish, 31, is on loan at Everton from Premier League rivals Manchester City.
He spent a large chunk of last season with the Toffees under a similar arrangement, scoring twice and providing six assists in 20 appearances, before sustaining a season-ending foot injury in January.
Grealish came on as a substitute during City's 3-0 Community Shield defeat to Arsenal at Wembley in August.
The former Aston Villa player, who cost City £100m in 2021, also featured as a substitute during City's 2-1 win over Bournemouth on the opening weekend of the Premier League season.
He returned to Everton before the transfer window closed and has featured five times for them this season in the Premier League.
Grealish also played in Everton's Carabao Cup third round win over Wolves.
