Jack Grealish has apologised for the behaviour which resulted in him being dropped from Everton's last Premier League match.
After being left out of the Toffees' 3-1 win over Coventry City at Hill Dickinson, Grealish is being re-integrated into the squad. The club decided to deploy him in a behind-closed-doors friendly; a clear sign they are in the process of forgiving his behaviour.
Public Apology on Instagram
On an Instagram story, Grealish also issued a public apology on social media. He said: "Nice to be back out there with the boys today after a few good days training!
"I want to apologise to the fans n everyone at the club for not been [sic] able to help the team the last few weeks. I love playing for this club n can't wait to be back playing in front of you guys in an Everton shirt. See you all soon."
Reintegration Into Squad
The decision to drop Grealish was supported by David Moyes. The club's move to field him in a behind-closed-doors friendly signals their intent to reintegrate him as they work through the disciplinary matter.
