"He's unavailable"

— David Moyes, Everton manager, on Jack Grealish's availability

Moyes offered no further detail on the nature of the disciplinary action or how long Grealish might be absent. The Everton boss was also keen to focus on the positives of his team's one-goal win against a struggling Newcastle side.

The terse response leaves Grealish's immediate future at Everton uncertain, with Moyes clearly unwilling to discuss the matter publicly. The midfielder's absence comes at a time when Everton are looking to build momentum after a hard-fought victory at St James' Park.

Moyes keeps focus on Everton's win

While the Grealish question dominated the post-match discussion, Moyes was more forthcoming about his team's performance. Everton secured all three points thanks to a single goal against a Newcastle side that is struggling for form.

The win lifts Everton's confidence and puts further pressure on Newcastle, who were unable to respond after falling behind. Moyes praised his players for their resilience and organisation in securing the result.
