David Unsworth had enough of two Everton players at training on Saturday and sent them packing.
Both Kevin Mirallas and Morgan Schneiderlin were sent home from the training session ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash with Watford due to a lack of effort on their parts, according to Sky Sports.
The Toffees caretaker manager told both Mirallas and Schneiderlin to leave Finch Farm after giving less than was expected of them and neither was included in Unsworth’s matchday squad for Everton’s dramatic 3-2 victory over Watford, Unsworth’s first win since taking over after Ronald Koeman’s dismissal last month.
The players in question have been linked with a move away from Goodison Park when the January transfer window opens, with Mirallas unable to nail down a starting place and Schneiderlin struggling to find form.
Belgium international Mirallas took to social media to update fans on his thoughts on his current situation.
“Thank you for all your messages,” Mirallas wrote. “It’s a difficult situation for me, but in life there are things much more serious than my personal situation.”
Everton were forced to come from 2-0 down at home to the Hornets on Sunday, with goals from Oumar Niasse, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Leighton Baines keeping three crucial points at Goodison.
