Everton has suspended injured striker Jo for returning to Brazil without permission.
On a season’s loan from Manchester City, Jo has been sidelined with a knee injury and Everton manager David Moyes is furious the striker went home without consulting him.
Speaking Friday ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup third round game against Carlisle, Moyes said the suspension was a short-term measure but that could change.
Jo scored five goals in 11 appearances during a similar loan deal last season and has contributed two in 12 this term, scoring in the League Cup and Europa League but not in the Premier League.
