Everton boss David Moyes has BANNED on-loan Real Madrid midfielder Royston Drenthe from the club's training complex.

The Daily Mail says Everton have confirmed that Drenthe's career at the club is over after they imposed a fine of four weeks wages - in the region of £140,000 - for two serious breaches of club discipline in the build-up to the semi-final.

The maverick Holland winger, who had been on a season-long loan from Real Madrid, has been banned from the club's Finch Farm training complex after he was persistently late in turning up for training the build-up to the game against Liverpool.

Moyes, who had previously shown Drenthe great support when allowing him compassionate leave last month, decided enough was enough when he failed to show up for important team meeting nine days ago.
