Morgan Schneiderlin has denied reports claiming he stormed out of training 24 hours before Everton’s Premier League clash against Watford on Sunday.

The midfielder, 27, was a surprise absentee from the Toffees’s matchday squad for their crucial fixture at Goodison Park.

Widespread reports have since claimed Schneiderlin, alongside Kevin Mirallas – who was also absent from the matchday squad – were banished from training by caretaker boss David Unsworth after falling out with coach Duncan Ferguson.

However, Schneiderlin has since taken to Twitter to reiterate his commitment to Everton, slamming the reports as “not true.”

The Frenchman uploaded a picture with the text: “I have seen press stories today about me ‘being sent away from training.’ The stories are not true.
