Lescott dropped from Everton squad
Joleon Lescott has been axed from Everton’s squad for tomorrow’s Europa League play-off first leg against Sigma Olomouc at Goodison Park.
Lescott did not train with the first-team squad earlier today following weeks of transfer speculation linking him with Manchester City, who have had two bids rejected for the defender.
Everton boss David Moyes said: “Joleon’s attitude has not been right these past days, he has disappointed me and he has disappointed his team-mates. He is not in the right frame of mind.”
However,Moyes insisted he still does not want to sell the player, saying: “I hope this will all be sorted out, after the (transfer) deadline.”
