Everton have suspended Dutch winger Andy van der Meyde following "a
breach of club discipline" after he missed training last
Sunday.
The Holland international did not feature in the club's Premier
League clash at Tottenham on Tuesday and has not been included in
the squad for Saturday's game at Reading.
After failing to appear at training last Sunday, the club have
moved to suspend the 27-year-old for a week and handed him the
maximum fine possible.
David Moyes told the club's official website: "Andy has had
numerous warnings about this type of thing and we won't tolerate it
any longer.
"I will make a decision regarding the player's future next
week."
Van der Meyde also endured a contentious start to last season when
he was admitted to hospital in the early hours of August 7 with
breathing problems.
It was claimed that his drink had been spiked while in a bar in
Liverpool.
