Jack Grealish Everton apology: what he said after his discipline breach
Grealish apologised to Everton fans on Instagram after missing three games for a breach of club discipline, then played again in a friendly.
Jack Grealish has apologised to Everton supporters after missing three Premier League games over what the club called a “breach of club discipline”. The apology, posted on his Instagram story, made “Jack Grealish Everton apology” one of the top searches in the UK on Thursday.
Grealish, on loan at Everton, had been left out of the squad for three league matches. Everton gave two reasons: the disciplinary breach and a lack of fitness. He had also missed the 2-0 defeat at Arsenal through illness, BBC Sport and The Independent reported.
What Grealish said
In his Instagram story, Grealish said sorry to the fans and “everyone at the club”. He said he loves playing for Everton and cannot wait to be back in front of the supporters in an Everton shirt.
He did not explain what the breach was, and neither has Everton. The Sun has published details about a night out, but other outlets, including the BBC, have stuck to the club’s wording, and we have not been able to confirm The Sun’s account.
Back on the pitch
Grealish returned on Thursday in a behind-closed-doors friendly win over Championship side Derby County, his first game since the absence. Afterwards he posted again: “Nice to be back out there with the boys today after a few good days training.”
What next
The apology and a first game back suggest both sides want to move on. Whether he goes straight back into the side for Everton’s next Premier League match after the international break is the next question.
