Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has expressed support for Jack Grealish after his omission from Everton's Carabao Cup win over Newcastle United due to a breach of club discipline. Maresca stated that he doesn't have all the information and doesn't want to comment on the matter as Grealish is an Everton player. However, he described Grealish as "a good guy, good boy, big heart".
Everton manager David Moyes revealed that Grealish's absence was due to a breach of club discipline, but refused to provide further details. Various reports suggested that Grealish's omission was due to an unauthorised absence from training before the League Cup match.
Grealish's future at Manchester City is uncertain, with his contract expiring in June and the club unlikely to retain him after his loan spell at Everton ends. He has had a successful stint at the Etihad Stadium, contributing to four Premier League titles and the UEFA Champions League win in the 2022/23 season.

Source context
The on-loan Manchester City forward saw his 2026/27 season thrown into serious doubt this week after Everton made the decision to leave Jack Grealish out of their eventual Carabao Cup fourth round win over Newcastle United at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Toffees manager David Moyes would later reveal to the media that Grealish's omission from the matchday squad was the club's decision owing to "a breach of club discipline", while Everton did not disclose any further details on the matter. Various reports, however, indicated that Jack Grealish's absence and the decision taken by Everton officials stemmed from an unauthorised absence from training in the lead up to the League Cup encounter.
