Everton FC career of Brazilian forward Jo is hanging in the balance
THE Everton career of Brazilian forward Jo is hanging in the balance today after he abandoned the club during a striking crisis.[LNB]Jo returned to his home country without permission before the busy Christmas period, and left boss David Moyes short of options and fuming.[LNB]Now the Blues manager is weighing up whether to terminate the loan deal which brought the £18m player from Manchester City to Goodison Park, or offer him another chance.[LNB]The 22-year-old returned to Rio De Janeiro for personal matters, and Moyes admitted it was with a heavy heart that he took disciplinary action against him.[LNB]He said: 'He is now back but at this moment in time he is suspended from the football club. I am disappointed because we like Jo, he has been a really good lad and we've enjoyed having him, but there has to be discipline at all football clubs.[LNB]'He left over a busy period for us and left us short of players so I find that very difficult. It is just a short term thing at the moment and that could change over the coming weeks but at the moment that is the situation. I will leave it for now and make a decision later on.'
