• The pair were left out of matchday squad to face Watford • Schneiderlin denies walking out and says he is fully committed to clubMorgan Schneiderlin and Kevin Mirallas were omitted from Everton’s match-day squad against Watford on Sunday after walking out of a training session 24 hours earlier. Duncan Ferguson, Everton’s first-team coach, was conducting a session at the club’s Finch Farm training ground on Saturday when he accused the pair of a lack of commitment. Mirallas had started Everton’s previous Premier League game, the 2-0 defeat at Leicester City, but was substituted at half-time following an anonymous display. Ronald Koeman, Everton’s former manager, questioned Mirallas’s attitude earlier in the campaign. His appointment would have clear implications for the Everton futures of Schneiderlin and Mirallas, although the club’s hierarchy will consider several managerial candidates at a board meeting this week.
