Jack Grealish apologises to Everton fans and team after disciplinary absence
The 31-year-old, on loan from Manchester City, missed four games and posted an apology on Instagram after returning on 13 November 2026.
Jack Grealish apologised to Everton teammates and supporters after returning to action following a disciplinary absence that kept him out of the team for several weeks.
The 31-year-old, who is on loan from Manchester City, missed four Everton matches after last appearing for the club in the Premier League derby against Liverpool on 17 October 2026. He came back to the pitch on 13 November 2026 in Everton's behind-closed-doors game against Derby.
Apology and few details
After the Derby match Grealish posted on Instagram: "I love playing for this club and I can't wait to play in front of you again in the Everton shirt. See you soon".
Everton manager David Moyes declined to provide specifics about Grealish's conduct, and the club had earlier said, before the trip to Newcastle on 2 November 2026, that the 31-year-old player was "not ready for the match."
Grealish, once the most expensive British footballer when he moved from Aston Villa to Manchester City in 2021 for 100 million, helped City to the treble of the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League in 2023 but has not been an undisputed starter in the first team over the past two seasons.
Everton supporters will be watching whether Grealish's return becomes a sustained run in the side as the club navigates the remainder of the season.
