Jack Grealish apologised to Everton fans after playing in a behind-closed-doors friendly at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Thursday, marking his return following a breach of club discipline on October 17.
- Depth Chart: Boss David Moyes has missed the winger across four matches, and his recovery eases pressure on Everton.
- Betting Futures: Market odds on Everton could see a positive shift as the 31-year-old winger nears full match fitness.
The 31-year-old former England winger has missed four matches and not played for the Toffees since October 17 following a breach of club discipline, RTÉ reported. Boss David Moyes has been reluctant to discuss any finer details.
The club only confirmed the player was not match-fit ahead of a trip to Newcastle on November 2. Grealish featured in a friendly against Derby on Thursday in the strongest suggestion yet that a line has been drawn over the issue.
“Nice to be back out there with the boys today after a few good days training,” Grealish wrote on his Instagram story.
“I want to apologise to the fans and everyone at the club for not being able to help the team the last few weeks,” Grealish told RTÉ.
“I love playing for this club and can’t wait to be back playing in front of you guys in an Everton shirt. See you all soon,” Grealish said.
