Everton forward Kevin Mirallas has apologised for his behaviour in a training session last week but rejected suggestions he was disciplined for a poor attitude.
Both Mirallas and Morgan Schneiderlin were left out of the Everton squad for Sunday's 3-2 win over Watford after what Press Association Sport reported was an incident at the club's Finch Farm complex.
On Monday, Schneiderlin dismissed on Twitter reports he had been sent home from training on the eve of the game because of a poor attitude, and now Mirallas has spoken out, saying he struggled to contain his frustration after being told he was being left out.
