Jack Grealish was not named in Everton's squad for Monday's Premier League match at Newcastle United due to a fitness issue. The 31-year-old was also left out of the team for Thursday's Carabao Cup fourth round meeting against the Magpies due to a breach of club discipline, and Everton went on to win the game 3-1. Both sides meet again at St James' Park in the Premier League, and Grealish was not included, with a starting lineup post on the Everton club website stating that he is 'not match fit.' Grealish was also absent for the Toffees' 2-0 loss to Arsenal on Oct. 24, but that was put down to illness.
The former Aston Villa midfielder is on a second consecutive season-long loan from Manchester City and has made six appearances for Everton this season.
