David Moyes says it was the club's decision to leave Jack Grealish out of Everton 's Carabao Cup win over Newcastle United because of "a breach of club discipline".
Everton did not disclose any further details, but the decision is understood to have arisen from an unauthorised absence from training.
"You probably know I'm not going to give any details," said Moyes after Everton 's 3-1 win at Hill Dickinson Stadium set up a quarter-final tie at League Two Fleetwood Town.
"It's a club decision, it's something I don't want to speak too much about."
Moyes made it clear he supported the decision to leave out England winger Grealish, 31, who is on loan from Premier League rivals Manchester City .
