Everton striker ​Kean dropped for disciplinary reasons

Everton striker Moise Kean has been dropped because of a disciplinary problem.

Sky Sports reports the club dropped him for the 2-1 win over Southampton because he was late to a team meeting.

The striker arrived from Juventus this summer with a lot of promise but has not scored yet this season, despite playing 11 games for the club.

Everton boss Marco Silva spoke about Kean's absence after their win at St. Mary's. He told reporters: "Yeah. [His reaction was] really good.

"For sure, he will react stronger the next training sessions when he will be with us.

"Moise is working really hard. He is a young boy with a very good quality as well, doing his best to adapt as fast as we can to a different football [style] as well.

"He has all of my support and my staff and his team-mates to keep growing. For sure he will do that and in some weeks and some months you will see Moise in a better level for sure."
